Hi guys,
sorry have been busy building my house lately and forgot to introduce after signing in few months ago. My name is Alberto Novello I’m 43, I live in Italy but I’ve been around Europe a lot before. Before diving into video I was performing live with audio-driven lasers using as source my modular synth (this is a recent video https://vimeo.com/465512576).
One day on Muffwiggler I saw a post by Lars Larsen (the founder of LZX industries) on how to hack a Vectrex and right after saw @allthesixes666 posting amazing pictures with it. They seemed similar to my laser stuff but more complex. So I got my hands on one and started experimenting. For couple of years building some Vectrex installation, some short compositions. Last year I started working with a Tekrtonix monitor to mostly deform rasters. Lately I developed a technique to combine lasers and video projections into one: my new live performance called Inspirals (https://vimeo.com/470676044) was created for the Vector Hack Festival run by @klif, Derek Holzer and Chris King. In the last weeks I started building my Cadet LZX system to add feedback to Raster. I went into my basement and found my old Sony shitty camera and a Trinitron and started back from the beginning… lets’ see where it goes… I’m happy to be here, I know a lot of you already directly or just from Avatars on forums. I’m a bit fed up with Facebook but it’s also a heavy drug I’ll try my best to transition my energy to here. Hope you’re all doing fine. See you around.
Cheers,
AN
Hey everybody, i’m Lauden/americantrashcorp. I’ve been lurking on here for quite a while, and wanted to make the plunge to introduce myself. I like a lot of other people have been doing my best to make the jump away from facebook and this seems like a great community to share and learn things. I started datamoshing videos and using those for live performences, and then slowly started using stuff like resolume, then much later lumen. Now the last year or so i’ve been focusing on a lot of hardwear. I’ve made a few dirty mixers, an ave mod, and bent my own archer a few months ago with some pretty good results (about 8 or 9 bends) Whenever the pandemic lets up a little bit hopefully I can go back to doing some live visuals. Anyway! Hi everybody.
also, heres a link to some stuff i was messing around with a few days ago.
Hi! I’ve heard a lot about this site and see links to the URL pretty often, but haven’t really engaged myself with this place yet. I guess to start, under this alias YOVOZOL, I’ve done live visuals for quite a few bands in southern USA before the pandemic and have since done many music videos and longer sets for livestreams. I have a straightforward website that is my portfolio yovozol.com as well as a YouTube channel (1.3k subs and counting!) that has my work as well as guides about visuals, more of which will be made in the future I think. I also am getting into selling my visuals on home dubbed VHS tapes, which is has been a success and lots of fun so far!
Analog glitch visuals has been my go-to way to express myself and I have been further pushing myself to define my own aesthetic and identifiable style. You can see this progression best on my instagram @yovozol . I am a relatively young (age-wise) artist and a lot of people my generation are fascinated but what I do since none of us really grew up with the very tech I’m using, so in a way I feel I’m kind of… a gen z anomaly in that regard.
Here’s my favorite project I’ve done recently: G H 0 S T - 飛び去る [music video by yovozol] - YouTube
Hello! I just heard about this forum and I instantly registered. I’m Lime, a French visualist/livecoder from Paris. I mostly perform as a VJ, but I also do a lot of experiments, using new and established tools (Hydra by @ojack, Max/MSP/Jitter, Marching.js, Resolume…). My portfolio is over there : https://limewire.xyz.
I performed mostly in chiptune shows, but also on the webradio Datafruits. I like 3D viz, analog-style viz and some forms of glitch art. I make viz since ~2013. I’m looking forward to expand my knowledge on the visual field, such as using my electronics skill to build DIY video synths. 
Hi, my name is Thomas. Working on graphic algorithms since years. Using openFrameworks, Blender and custom software for my experiments.
This winter i am working on a visualization software for live coding. Mixing generative code fragments with inputs channels in real-time. Called this thing “analog Not analog”, because it is inspired by analog video feedback loops. But runs on a digital computer. It’s mainly for visuals. The software components of aNa communicate via OSC. You can connect SuperCollider or other tools for sending OSC messages.
aNa is based on Clojure and openFrameworks. Source code and some documentation at GitLab Thomas Jourdan / aNa · GitLab
Hi - I am Iain
I’ve not been so active recently, but I’ve done a lot of work on circuit bending retro video hardware, mostly written up here:

Hello everyone, I’m Sean. I am a Video Synthesist or VJ, my stage name is Photon Bath. I perform providing visuals for some of the musicians in the New York Modular Society. I use a variety of devices and tools, including a Critter & Guitari ETC, an LZX Vidiot, Geiskes Oscillotascope. I’ve played around a bit with Waaavepool and want to get more into Andrei’s software as well as Scrawl. I just assembled a r_e_c_u_r and am trying to get that working now.
very cool if you want some help stepping through anything related to scrawl just send me a message and we can step through it over chat or video.
welcome to the fold!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
wow i had stumbled upon your website a few years ago and was amazed. my mind is blown that you just posted a photo with all that gear there on the table! what i would do to know what the mixer market was like in 2009 and 2010…
Hi p33ps!! My name is Ash aka laelume (they/them) and I’m an audio programmer, livecoder, musician/composer/producer, and jxll of all trades! I use alot of emerging and experimental software as well as conventional tools, and am excited about… lots of things!! I just started a music label for livecoding (and for computer musics too) and I hope to make connections with folx here and talk about cool nerdish stuff. Come find me on soundcloud & ig!! Nice to meet you! xoxo ash
Hi! I’m Flor de Fuego I’m an art professor and artist based in Argentina. I study and practice live coding. Most of all I use Hydra for visuals and Tidal Cycles for sound but I use some other stuff. I’m studying a bit for web developer and may be studying a lot about more stuff like tarot cards. I’m a curious person and I think this is a nice place to share with you all. Cheers!
hi, peace from california
this is fresh…
I’m artist and producer evan hartzell
Well I hope it provides some inspiration.
When I got involved it was a transitional market for SD video equipment. It was moving beyond being thought of as old junk that people were throwing out with their VHS Camcorders, but it wasn’t yet RARE, VINTAGE, RETRO and all that stuff. I don’t think I paid very much for most of the mixers. The WJ_MX12 was the most exensive, but even that wasn’t silly money.
My hint would be - even really low-quality mixers and processors can produce interesting effects.
Hi everyone,
I am new here so here is a quick intro. I spend my free time modding / repairing / repurposing old electronic devices. Already found some inspiring projects here such as crackedraytube. I like to mess-up with CRT stuffs 
Looking forward to learn from this group and hope to contribute as well.
Howdy y’all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. My name is Chris. You may know me from my instagram or from my videoPainting series. General human that likes being nice to people, enjoys the absurd, loves prototyping new ideas and uses analog video to document my daily mind patterns since April 1st 2015. Since then the community has grown in many ways, we are all doing important work in our own way. I primarily focus on analog video synthesis, but I also dabble with mixers, glitched hardware, various types of software among other endeavors across the software/hardware landscape. All of you have inspired me beyond description, thank you for being apart of my life and keeping me going throughout the years. I’ve been on a web, net and telnet hiatus for a bit, but generally back now. Grateful for the humans that created this environment for all of us to converse and share experiences. To everyone, thank you for being apart of this journey. Looking forward to all the new work and discussions in the near future. Reach out anytime, I’ll do my best to answer in a timely manner.
wow those last two captures look so crisp and colorful. thanks for linking that playlist it looks like a must see for video synthesis
your website was one of the few resources when i got started and i got some valuable hints from your pictures. thanks! 
Hi I’m LiteBriteMagic. I plan to use a lite brite to do live visuals with and other various ideas I get.this seems like a good place to check out .
