Audio-visual mix that was submission for ENTER THE VOID 2.0 stream
Lotsa camera feedback inside.
I was told it has Kenneth Anger and occult vibes, and not gonna lie, that’s what we were aiming for when making this.
All visuals made by MOONSPEED and music by Lotus Reaction
Audio is from a benjolin and two tracks of guitar pedal feedback loops with a touch plate for rhythms. I like feedback audio with feedback video. The benjolin is also throwing CV to my Vidiot, which is seeding the feedback.
I found this desert road trip home movie on the internet archive. I composed the song in bitwig studio, leaning heavily on arturia pigments. I cut and edited the video to transition scenes on beats (total pain in the ass). Then i made a preset in bitwig to control every parameter on the roland V8. I used the various modulators and automation lanes to control the V8 while the song and video played. Ive put togeter a VSERPI preset too, so im hoping to make more videos this way. If anyone uses bitwig id be happy to share the controller presets.
Finally finished a music video I’ve been working on for a while.
I started this deep in lockdown & we couldn’t do any in person stuff, so I had the band record some phone footage of singing/playing to the track. The video synth-y bits were done on my little cadet-plus-some-other-stuff system and all captured directly into my computer. The UI bits were drawn on paper and scanned. I edited the synth & live action parts in premiere and then animated the UI around it in after effects.
I rescanned it off of a little 9" sony PVM CRT and used the Syntonie CBV001 and 002 to do the glitchy bits at the end. I filmed the screen through a haze filter both for the bloomy highlights and to help deal with the moire, which kinda worked.
Doing the UI on paper with a brush pen was a good way to make the whole thing take way longer - Mostly because trying to change or add UI elements later was way more difficult. But I kinda liked the idea of a computer UI being subject to so many rounds of unnecessary generation loss.
My latest work… a combination of a circuit bent Sima Pro that I put together (and have since sold), a Mezkalin Synthwaver, and PhotoMosh.
It’s a music video for a track I made on the Dirtywave M8.
Some home experiments with what feels like a solid live setup for me at this early stage…strange loop playing some clips into syntonie cvb001, blended with structure, all through v4. Would love feedback on how to make structure work a bit more narratively or fluidly over longer periods,as ive got repetitive clips going despite random cv input.
Love this forum and what everyone is up to out here!
I’ve been making videos to this album and using my chroma corruptor hooked up to a VCR for all of them. This project is making me use different setups on the box, and combining that with my different editing style and content used gives the videos all a different style.
This project is going very well. Here soon I’m going to purchase a video enhancer and see if I can make my own video bender.
Just finished a music video I’ve been working on!
Made this video meditation : )
Black holes also chant Aum ^
Not much there yet, but I did finally break down and start an Instagram (or rather recovered the password of the old one I hadn’t used in years and don’t even remember opening to begin with).
It’ll be a mix of music and video stuff and I probably won’t be posting much.
I recently made this with a fellow editor and came out with one of my most effects and video-bending heavy videos yet. I used a extensive amount of datamoshing, rgb and various other effects and blend modes before running the video through my VCR and Chroma Corruptor several times. I then took 3-4 different mixed versions and cut them in post before finalizing it.
I’d be curious to hear what some of you think. It seems like generally Video Mixers and such are often used for live showings or loops using a CRT. I mainly use it for blending videos.
480p for aesthetic, 4K for clarity.
Hi everyone! Awesome to see all the creativity in this community…just wanted to share this performancw I got to join recently doing the visuals…would love feedback as I’m always learning. This setup was edirol v4, strange loop, hypno, structure and syntonie cvb001.
Ps performance starts around 20 minutes ans visuals a few minutes after. Cheers!
This is awesome. Can I ask how you blended the Aum images so clearly? Would love to see more!
Hey thanks very much. I made a loop using touch designer and a patch from Wednesdayayay. This created the background with the moving aums. I had to use ffmpg to get a 16/9 video by stacking two aum animations together.
The other aum is a static image. Both are played back using tbc2 and through modular lzx gear. Also the scrolling wavy vertical lines are my diy feedback synth. Quite a lot going on really 
I use recur to playback my animations
I have a lot more on my YouTube channel
