Through the Grapevine

3D Model

Much music, such Wow (turn the sound on) !

This visualization is based on the song “I heard it through the grapevine” interpreted by Creedence Clearwater Revival (originally from Marvin Gaye).

In a few (technical) words, I analyzed the sample through some Discrete Fourier Transforms, and linked the resulting spectrogram to shapekeys matching frequencies in Blender through Python. I’ll probably play around some more with similar concepts in the coming weeks, and will try to share some scripts !

Here are a few bonus links:

• Original song
• Audacity
• Easy read to understand FFT
• Python Matplotlib spectrogram function
• Python wave library
• Cell Fracture Addon

And some plots / screenshots:
