I’ve been playing with this excellent program originally done by Josh Nimoy for an installation with GRL (Graffiti Research Labs). It’s a chunky, colorful, NYC-graffiti-style painting tool that works cross-platform and is open source. I’d been kicking around this idea in my head for awhile about creating a live performance painting tool, which isn’t exactly an original concept - see Golan Levin’s Yellowtail, Zach Lieberman’s Drawn, and the very hypnotic SuperDraw, for example. I’ve never seen Yellowtail live, but I did see the very early version of SuperDraw performed to some robotic German techno in the basement of the old Tonic club on NYC’s Lower East Side. Fantastic! Who thought that drawing abstract, floating shapes in time to music could be so engrossing?

This is my favorite set so far. The audio and video are so tightly wound in this performance that you couldn’t slide a nanowire in between them. I was hypnotized; the images just seemed to pour straight out of my mind onto the blank projection screen. Dammit, this set had atmosphere. Big thanks to Duskrider for that.

I really liked this set. The whole night started off with some great, soundtrack-style, moody electronic soundscapes courtesy of Duskrider and I brought some dark, video destroying software to match.

As part of a collaboration with krgn (Karsten Gebbert) I made a few test music videos, like this one. It’s an early version of what was to become a pretty complex performance system for PixelPusher called VideoDestroyer. (video in full post) Read more… »
