Quasar. Audiovisual Artwork.
We’ve been working late to bring you this piece of audiovisual art. It has been created for an article that will appear in the next WEAVE magazine (should be out in early march), where we describe the making of it.
So, what is it you ask? It is an audiovisual composition that is based on a single set of MIDI notes. Those notes influence both music and graphics at the same time. We did not take the usual route of creating a piece of music first and then find some visualization for it; instead both elements have been developed at the same time. When we decided to change something with the graphics, the changes immediately influenced the music as well.
We find this approach most fascinating and are thrilled to explore it in more depth as soon as possible.
There’s also a Flickr set for this. Oh, and it has been done with Processing and Live.

Looks and sounds nice!
Karsten Schmidt and Universal Everything use a same approach last year for this installation: http://universaleverything.com/276

wow jens, that looks terrific!
i love the way it works with the environment and architecture.
the approach is similar, yet also different in a way. karsten and the guys at ue basically made everything completely generative, while the above piece is intentional in so far, as that it has been composed deliberately (yet with a higher chance of randomness, as one can only work on one part of the composition at a time)
