Sometimes my life feels so surreal, like a dream. I try to capture these moments, to share and remember the feeling of the dream state. Last night, the moon was red above the smoke, ashes fell from the dark sky. This area was burned last year, but now the grasses grow taller than I've ever seen, some coming up to my elbows. A myriad of wildflowers coat the landscape in all directions. I've never seen the mountain meadows of the Rockies this lush. Here are my attempts to capture some of this abundant growth, testing different angles of lightning with white LED. Dreams in reality captured in single frames.
Happy birthday to Kial who guested on Mantis Radio episode 140!
Label boss of US dubstep imprint Sub Pressure, Kial put together a great mix back in October 2013, showcasing some of the heavy bass and dubstep his label + scene were putting out at the time.
I've shared some clips from the show, swipe to listen.

Object tracker made in @touchdesigner that attempts to zoom in on people/objects moving in the frame, and alters how often the zoom happens based on incoming frame rate. Camera selection, and other parameters are controlled via MIDI, live. Zoom is scaled to the blob dimensions, and (X,Y) position creating a glitchy computer vision output that was sent to VJs and an LED screen. First deployment of a TouchDesigner program I made. Much thanks to @interactiveimmersivehq (their tutorials are invaluable) and @nouses_kou for the inspiration and conversation.
More to come!
A few years ago, I set out on an endeavor to explore new sounds. Hybrids of Dubtechno, Gqom, Techno, Drum and Bass, and Dub. At the time it was terrifying to start a new alias after focusing on bass music for 20yrs, but I did it anyways and set my sights on a handful of inspirational labels. Hello Strange was one of the labels whose cold and spacious sound spoke to me. Out now, I am honored to be a part of their Strange Story series alongside other veteran producers such as @faserklang@r.hzdub@lotech_hijack@btgatex138 and others. Strange Story 12, contains 12 spacious Dubtechno tracks...some more Dub and broken, others more Techno influenced. Be sure to check out my contribution "Ancestral Coding."
I've got 3 DL codes that will go to 3 lucky fans later this week. Just like, share, and comment on this post for a chance to win a DL of the entire compilation!

Been fine tuning this interactive motion capture and added some things: Anit-aliasing, output trim control, and more natural looking response to movement. Added MIDI control for color palette shifting, feedback level, blur, and frame delay. Getting ready for my 1st public, interactive art deployment since 2010 tomorrow!

Reaction and particle fade out improvements using some feedback in various stages. Looks more natural with a touch of blur. Now I need a venue/space/fest to set this up at! 😆

After 6 months of practice and tutorials, finally am able to make something from scratch without a reference! This is just the start of some AR magic, it's needs some refinement visually but the tech is working! Gotta give a shot out to @interactiveimmersivehq wouldn't have made it this far without them.

Particle clouds reorganized into pillars. Here low and mid frequency content of the music is driving noise amplitude, and phase causing particle animation. Original music, with audio reactive / generative visuals from @TouchDesigner
