This is a vintage experimental electronic music video, Intersticies, by Robert Edgar. Produced in 1973 at Synapse Video in Syracuse, NY. Material was shot on 16mm film, then transferred to video and electronically manipulated, finally kinoscoped back to 16mm film. For transfer to the web, the film was projected and captured using a Panasonic HVX200A… Read More Vintage Experimental Electronic Music Video
Experimental Music Video Explores Audio & Video Synthesis
This experimental music video, Exponential Waves by Thorrific, was made with Synthetik Software’s Studio Artist and (mostly) MSG Evolver, running live video through custom-made Modular Synthesized Graphics patches. Music made with my Didgeridoo, Moog Rogue, MetaSynth, and treated Vibraphone.
Beautiful Electroacoustic Music Installation
Three Pieces is a composition for plants, yangqin, bamboo robot and robotic chimes. The electroacoustic music installation is designed as a collaboration between robots, traditional instruments, and living things, housed in Victorian Palm House of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. A traditional Chinese dulcimer is played by a robot with many bamboo fingers while the surrounding… Read More Beautiful Electroacoustic Music Installation
Music Control With Myoelectric Sensors
Remember Daito Manabe, the guy that electrocutes his face to the beat? He’s doing all sorts of cool experimental stuff, as this video demonstrates. The video captures Manabe demoing myoelectric sensors as music controllers. Here’s how Manabe’s approach works in a music/dance performance:
Absinthe-Controlled Synthesizer
As if absinthe wasn’t strong enough on its own, DamagedMeat has combined his absinthe ritual with his modular sequencer to make ritual absinthe music: I love Absinth, and I love modular synthesizers, so I thought it would be a good idea to do something featuring those two wonders… And as it actually looked quite good… Read More Absinthe-Controlled Synthesizer
Experimental Artist Combines Drawing And Music Performance
http://vimeo.com/2040381 This is the fourth in Matt Cook’s series of Drawing Events from 2003. “I am exploring sound, movement and image by inverting traditional ideas of composition – the score is created by the music, the dance is a product of the composition,” explains Cook. “All sounds are created by the drawing action, a mark sends a… Read More Experimental Artist Combines Drawing And Music Performance
Mrmr Turns You iPhone Into A Multi-Person Multimedia Control System
Peter Kirn posted an interesting look today at Mrmr – a platform for creating dynamic user interfaces on mobile devices. The above video shows its use on an iPhone in a recent audiovisual performance and ends with an interview with its designers. Simply put, Mrmr is a technology that lets you use ordinary cell phones and PDAs… Read More Mrmr Turns You iPhone Into A Multi-Person Multimedia Control System
Experimental Synth Lets You Draw Music With A Pencil
A video demo of Christian D Cerrito’s The Draw Synth. Sound is made by the resistance of the graphite imprint of the pencil, causing a change in the sound frequency.
Visualization Of Sound
John Kannenberg’s Reductive Waves is a meditation on the visualization of sound, via contrasting natural and human-crafted environments. It features two main visual elements, the first of which is non-manipulated video footage of light moving across his living room wall, shot during a summer sunrise. The second is a series of digital images created via… Read More Visualization Of Sound
