Cortex Couture Systems

Seamlessly integrated intelligent systems for real-world operations.

We design and implement intelligent systems that hinge upon practical automation, data workflows, and custom tools that save time, reduce errors, and make teams faster — without the fluff.

Portfolio

Selected systems and prototypes.

How we work (scope → build → ship)
  1. Discovery (45–90 mins): goals, constraints, data, risk.
  2. Blueprint: architecture, timeline, acceptance criteria.
  3. Build: short iterations with demos & feedback.
  4. Ship: deployment, docs, handover, optional support.

Labs (R&D)

Experiments and prototypes that show range.

MotionSynthSystem (Prototype, 2022)

Gesture-controlled music system: Kinect → TouchDesigner → OSC → Max for Live → Ableton.

Goal: translate movement in space into musical control for performance/installations.

Signal flow: Kinect v2 → TouchDesigner (Kinect CHOP → Select → Math) → OSC over UDP (port 5000) → Max for Live mapping → Ableton MIDI instruments.

  • Two-hand control: left/right hands drive separate musical parts (harmony-ready).
  • Performer guidance grid: spatial zones mapped to notes/behaviours.
  • Stable routing via OSC addresses /52–/55 for left/right X/Y.
  • Multi-person tolerance (max players set to avoid interference).

V2 roadmap: calibration UI, packaging/launcher, smoother tracking & presets, optional ML gesture recognition.

MotionSynthSystem (Prototype, 2022)

Real-time gesture-controlled music system using Kinect, TouchDesigner, OSC, Max for Live & Ableton. Built to explore how full-body movement can control harmony and performance parameters with low-latency, expressive mapping.

The problem

Traditional MIDI controllers can feel restrictive for performance and installations. I wanted a system where movement in space becomes a controllable instrument — intuitive for the performer and legible to the audience.

The solution

A modular pipeline that tracks body position, extracts hand coordinates, and routes normalized control signals into Ableton instruments.

Signal flow

Kinect v2 → TouchDesigner (Kinect CHOP → Select → Math) → OSC over UDP (port 5000) → Max for Live (OSC route & scaling) → Ableton MIDI tracks/instruments

Key features
  • Two-hand control: left and right hands independently drive different musical parts (enabling harmony).
  • Performer guidance grid: gridded overlay to help map zones in space to notes/behaviours (“4 boxes to a note”).
  • Stable routing: hand axes routed as OSC addresses /52–/55 (left X/Y, right X/Y) for clean mapping.
  • Multi-person tolerance: tracking configured to avoid interference when others are in the room.
Technical notes (what’s actually happening)
  • TouchDesigner extracts world-space hand positions, then normalizes ranges (initially -1 to 1).
  • Data is transmitted via OSC over UDP to Max, then mapped/scaled into usable control values.
  • Ableton is configured with paired MIDI tracks per hand so each hand can control separate instruments.
Outcome

A working prototype demonstrating real-time motion-to-sound mapping with reliable routing and a repeatable setup process.

What I’d improve in v2 (production-ready)
  • Calibration UI (range & sensitivity presets per space/performer)
  • Packaging / “one-click run” launcher & better fault tolerance
  • Smoother tracking, latency tuning, and mapping presets
  • Optional ML gesture recognition for discrete gestures (e.g., “raise arm → trigger mode”)
