NEW BLEEP 8 / George Tavern, London / 23 Oct 2004

Live visuals for HECKER (Mego Records, Austria)

I write my own visuals software in Direct Draw / C++ because I'm so fuckin' hardcore!!!

Images are constructed from two realtime-sequenced lists of FX objects applied to
my photographic memories of seascapes, landscapes and airscapes, which are
rendered onto two corresponding hidden surfaces. 
An auxiliary Beamer object combines the two surfaces onto the visible display
using various per-pixel glitched data-modulation algorithms to get the fine-grain
appearance.
Timing rhythm is controlled by RAM, not human.
Intensity modulation is controlled on a per-FX basis by data or human or audio input.

Whether the whole damn thing actually looks good or not is largely a matter of infinite luck.


Respect to the New Bleep crew and eNo for putting on another top night!
