   Great, Dave… these are really fascinating. It’s something we’ve been looking at too, for our Life Project – “simple” sounds and lights that show the emotional state of a digital “creature.” Except in our case, they’re physical objects. We’ve been looking at your blog, your last post about research into the perception of color/sound/etc. corresponding to emotions was really useful. The idea of diagramming the color changes in 2D is brilliant, we may have to “borrow” bits of this idea (is it GPL’d or CC’d? 😉

   On another note, it looks like these are waveforms – are they supposed to repeat indefinitely? When we did some brainstorming, people came up with some one-shot synth ideas, like a wolf’s whistle for “horniness.” Speaking of which, where is horniness?! Or is it simply a Platonic love that the spirits feel?

   Hi Mr Pixelpusher – the emotions come from the Ortony-Clore-Collins cognitive model which the FAtiMA software is based on.

   Online material seems scarce, but this is quite useful:

   And yup, all my work is GPL/CC so please use it.
