Multi-part analog visual installation with interactive elements
DJ booth backdrop contained 8x modded CRT TVs receiving audio feeds, each displaying real-time waveforms via the internal deflection circuits.
Massive 40+ CRT wall installation by Smooth Canoe being fed:
• Analog visuals generated via the DIY video modular + mx12 feedback loops
• Audience facing analog camera feed > glitch processing via Sync Eater > custom breakout box in front of the wall to give the audience some basic physical controls over the glitch processing
• Custom real-time branded visual systems in Touchdesigner + live glitch processing via the Sync Eater
• Wall projection displaying a collection of analog CCTV Cam <> Sync Eater <> CRT TV feedback loops
Lobby of the Lost // Cityfox Halloween 2019
Music & Lighting Installation
For The Cityfox Experience Halloween Festival at Avant Gardner in Brooklyn, NY in 2019 I was given the opportunity to write a themed composition with synchronized lighting for one room of the festival space.
The result was a 30 minute long composition that looped throughout the 12 hour event. The music itself moves through a series of dark and brooding motifs, intense anxiety driven percussive moments, and ambient atmospheres accompanied by synchronized strobe lights, chandeliers, wash lights, and glowing gowns that surround the room.
Both the music and the lighting sequence were written in Image-Line’s FL Studio. The lighting sequence, written in a series of 14-bit MIDI triggers and automation envelopes, is sent in real-time via a loopback into Derivative Touchdesigner where the data is processed and sent out as DMX values to each of the fixtures. A simple previz system was also built within Touchdesigner to visualize the lighting data during the sequencing process.
October, 2019.
Thank you Billy for the opportunity.
