Real Time Video Performance

Here is a video from my latest performance in Chicago. Its a real time video audio piece that utilizes a rapid analog video switcher I built using a micro controller and communication from max/msp. Here are the notes from the program:

This improvised performance will be a continuation of my experimentation in video processing and image distortion by implementing a combination of analog and digital techniques. Abstract videos distorted by means of pixilation and data compression are processed through rapid and rhythmic analog video switching resulting in de-synchronization and visual disorientation.

Field Studies Label

Field Studies Label (fieldstudieslabel.com) is a newly created experimental label that I am involved with. What is most unique about this label is that its goal is not only releasing interesting work but also distributing free custom-made software to artists. I recently built a generative synthesis program that is available to download from the site. The site is just beginning so not much is available yet, but I could see this idea catching on.

If you want to contribute, you can contact Brian through his e-mail on the site.

Here is a still of the program I built...
