Beat Bubbles


Beat Bubbles is a creative coding project made in p5.js. Inspired by my love for music, doodling, and Jackson Pollock's interest in process, this project incorporates sound and mouse interaction and is intended to be a blank canvas upon which users can create their own sound doodles.

This work relies on the user’s choice of music or sound as well as the method of movement or lack of movement. ‘Beat Bubbles’ is more about the process of creation and the exploration of different sounds and movements than the end result.








Beat Bubbles is designed to be a fun and meditating doodle game that explores the relationship between sound, movement, and scale. Built with a simple interface and design, this work is about the spontaneity that comes from doodling and the visual documentation of sound.

Doodling has the power to bring peace to the mind, providing a simple flow of distraction. Maintaining consistency in terms of color and shape, but allowing the user to choose the sound and play with movement and scale, isolates these variables and encourages the user to get lost in a state of play.
