I was excited to be invited to play a set for the Baron Von Future Mixtape Release Stream. I decided to use this as an opportunity to demo my latest iteration of the Audiovisual Sequencer" I've been working on.

Audiovisual sketch for MIDI triggered emissive textures along motion paths.

I recently got MIDI triggered animated sequences and motion paths to work. To demonstrate I wanted to make a song with a realistic scene about those roller coaster abacus beads that you might remember playing with in the waiting room of a hospital.

My goal for the next year or so is to publish a new one minute documentation of a realtime audiovisual performance every day before I go to sleep. I also plan to stream my process on twitch.tv/thornebrandt

Why am I doing this?

I've always been inspired by Michel Gondry's Star Guitar video, and I wanted to create a tool for a similar experience, but for live performance.

I've been collecting textures from grimy corners of London, and I've been building up creating photorealistic assets in Blender and Substance painter. These are meant for a larger secret project, but I wanted to re-use some of these 3d models for a midi sequencer.

Here's a quick test.

From another angle it becomes this.
