Video created by Colin Sebestyen.VDMX The software provides a robust collection of tools that allow you to work more quickly with dynamic objects. It was a bunch of work, but also satisfying in the crowd this video on Vimeo. We mixed using a standard V4 Video mixer and projected. Using a live font we created for a corporate job! (check out ) we visualized the loss, yearning, and emotion in the song. We used 9 as our random seed in our flocking simulations, generated nonagons in dozens of configurations.įor "Mr Sniggles House", we used timelapse to capture an overhead projector with various natural live detritus occluding the light beams- feeder crickets, worms, beta fish, all acquired at the local pet store (and returned to nature when their staring roles concluded) and also created a live font using address stencils.įor "Kontrol (I wish you were here)" We worked with Nonagon + Angie and created projection mapped scenes of original photography of tokyo and spain. We looked at the number nine and it's representation in the natural world as much as we could. There are three tracks represented in the promo - First, "Fixed Action Pattern"- in which Justin and myself researched as much about geometry and nonagons, specifically. The violinist, however, had effect pedals that he utilized and added a beautiful organic feel over the whole set. They had both worked with Nonagon- The violinist we could not glean any data off of, so our data inputs were nonagon's MIDI feed and of course, the live audio levels. We had a live vocalist in Angie Donkin and her violinist. the live show was much longer, about 10 tracks or 45 minutes. Justin has a programing background, so we have messed with programatic visualism (Quartz, Flash, etc) however, we have found that the design sensibility typically suffers as opposed to a loop based approach. For a final round of approval, we typically create polished motion loops, and then remove as many of the extraneous effects as possible so we can recreate and control the effects live using effects chains in VDMX. We typically design and sketch out our ideas, and then design in Cinema 4D and After Effects for our motion loops. His music was in progress for this show, and we designed visual packs that he could approve and give influence to his sonic landscapes. In working and discussing with him, we had a lot of creative discussions- sacred geometry, decay, math in the natural world and etc. Nonagon (JB Kirby) is a brilliant guy, he programs AI during his days and makes soulful computer music at night. Justin and I VJ in VDMX exclusively, however, our real focus is interactive and motion graphic design. We split this signal and used his data for our VDMX setups.
#Vdmx osc Patch#
Nonagon has a MAX patch that sends his monome and MIDI data to control Ableton live. As such, we've all learned a lot very quickly.ĬSTNG-SHDWS is Colin Sebestyen and Justin Metros.įor this promo video, we are syncing to prerecorded Nonagon tracks, however, the performance was all live. It's a collection of artists and musicians that also contains a major component they call LearnTech, where artists and visualists present their setups and show their methodology in a workshop setting.

This performance was for in San Francisco.

Audio analyze and other parameters controls are done live in a VDMX projec and sent by OSC. Boids behaviour's parameters (cohesion, separation, alignment) are audio reactive. This object contains inside a motion sensor (a Wiimote controller) and is used in specific moments by the dancers as a performative object to manipulate audio.ĪudioReactive visuals were developed in Processing using Plethora library for the flocking implementation. A bright object in the middle of the stage acts as source of knowledge and connecting link between the dancers. The narrative of the piece develops around human communication and mutually supportive relationships.
