Neon Vibration

An animated étude with rhythmically transforming geometric vector style imagery. It attempts to create rich visual textures and lighting effects from a minimal input coupled with the use of video feedback. The graphics were created by a visual instrument, which reacts to audio in real-time. Additional compositional structure and complexity was determined by the composer. The algorithmically generated music was inspired by the 'dance chimes' device (http://www.richter-spielgeraete.de/catalog-detail/items/9.06000-tanzglockenspiel-dance-chimes.html). This is an instrument that triggers bell like timbres when one of nine pitched chimes are stepped on by a user. Two Reaktor block modular ensembles produce sonic textures which are harmonised on a pentatonic scale used by the chimes.
