The Musicians by teadrinker
---------- The Musicians ---------- ---------- by teadrinker ---------- ---------- Inercia 2025 ---------- This is a weird rhythmical remix of musicians depicted in classical paintings: Caravaggio (1571–1610) The Lute Player Hendrick ter Brugghen (1588–1629) A Man playing a Lute Gerard van Honthorst (1592–1656) A Merry Group Behind a Balustrade Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) Portrait of Marten Soolmans Richard Cosway (1742–1821) Portrait of Marianne Dorothy Harland Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) Stage set for Mozart's Magic Flute Petrus van Schendel (1806-1870) Girl Playing a Guitar by Candlelight William Morris Hunt (1824–1879) The Drummer Boy Custom Puppet Animation System: Each of the characters has a Krita document containing a (manually) layered version of the painting, with special layers for rotation centers, blend masks etc. A python script exports to a folder based on naming conventions. Animation is midi-controlled using two axis values (kick/pulse and melody/snare) Each axis has a list with all layers with start/end rotation/position offsets Face animation was recorded using Mediapipe. Playback supports applying face animation while preserving the original head shape. Head rotation can be optionally applied in 2d/3d (but only face mesh is 3d, so this can only be used very sparingly) Additionally, a special axis can be driven by head position. Music: The initial version of the soundtrack was made ~18 years ago, in Logic 5.3 for Windows. (no, Apple did not make Logic, they bought it and killed the cross platform support) However the track transformed significantly over the years. Microtonic was used for the more experimental drum tracks. Harp and Guitar was added to fit the demo better.
