Reflection Lens

This piece is a study in extended textural sound and image. Ambient drone texture sounds are reflected in colorful abstract visuals to create an immersive and absorbing audio-visual experience. The visuals are constructed from slowly evolving shape geometries. There are subtle motions and form variations in a sparse visual expanse. The music exhibits similar pervasiveness and gradual change instilling a meditative focus. The paired media is designed as a synergistic piece of visual music.

The images for Reflection Lens were created using a visual music instrument purposely designed for visual music composition and performance. Known as ‘morphlux’ the instrument is performed by the artist using a touchscreen interface. It has capabilities for manual interaction and audio mapping and uses fundamental building blocks of repeated geometric forms. The music was created via granular synthesis. Clouds of synthesized sounds are generated and repeated to create extended drone textures.
