Art × Technology — Hong Kong

Making machines
hear, feel and move.

I'm Harry Kwan 關誌諾 — Creative Technologist, Solutions Architect and industry-validated Producer based in Hong Kong. I specialize in rapid prototyping: gesture-controlled instruments, AI that listens, interactive ecosystems and production-grade platforms — built for my own stage and studio, then shipped to the world.

01 — Interactive Systems

Living visualizations

2026 — WEB AUDIO + CANVAS

Chladni Plate Cymatics

Sound made visible — interactive simulation of Chladni plate resonance patterns, where sand-like particles organise into geometric figures driven by live frequency input.

2026 — BIOFEEDBACK VISUAL

The Associative Engine: Plant Pulse

Living-plant bioelectric signals translated into generative light and motion — an ecosystem that breathes with its biological sensors.

2026 — GENERATIVE ECOSYSTEM

Interspecies Game of Life

Conway's cellular automata reimagined as an interspecies ecosystem — evolving, competing, cooperating populations rendered as a living canvas.

02 — Instruments & Tools

Technology for making music

2025 — VISION + MIDI

HandMIDI — Body as Instrument

Webcam hand tracking mapped to sound: pinch, spread, tilt and height become reverb, filter, pan and delay — with a built-in generative synth, so it plays with zero setup and no DAW. Vision-style glass UI. A touchless instrument for live performance and accessible music-making.

2024–25 — AI LEARNING PLATFORM

RootNotes

Music theory and ear-training app with a built-in AI tutor — structured curriculum from intervals to jazz harmony, live on the App Store.

2026 — PRO AUDIO DSP

Vocal Multipressor & GainRider

Native AU/VST3 plugins grown from my vocal production workflow: intelligent multi-band compression and automatic gain-riding, built in Xcode and JUCE.

2026 — AI FILM TOOLS

LyricCut

Native macOS tool for music-video makers: sync lyrics to footage, AI-assisted clip tagging and timeline assembly. Whisper timing + LLM tagging.

2026 — GENERATIVE SOUND

Serum AI

AI-generated synthesizer presets — describe a sound in words, a reasoning LLM designs the patch, download a playable .SerumPreset for Serum 2. Binary preset format reverse-engineered from scratch.

2026 — IMAGE SONIFICATION

Lumitone

A cinematic scan line sweeps through any photograph — brightness becomes pitch and volume, low pixels ring low, high pixels ring high, and the color tone of the image picks the musical scale. Every picture has a voice.

2020 — 2026 — REAL-TIME AUDIO AI

Buskking — teaching machines to hear chords

Six-year quest to make software that listens like a musician: the browser hears live audio, classifies the chord in real time and auto-scrolls the chord sheet. From CUHK final-year project (KNN on spectral features, ml5.js) to a production rewrite (Nuxt + serverless), to ChordMac and chord-server (native macOS app and Dockerized service).
