Ambient

Was excited to be asked to do visuals for Night School + Phillip Otterbach at the Crown <3 Documenting this was also my push to get hydra canvas rendering working in my toolchain (see below!), which is a lot easier to document than videos. However I learned that audio isn’t loading in examples (mb by design? I opened a PR), so I can’t show these demos with audio reactivity. For Night School’s set, I wanted to play with these trios of soft blobs, and gradually overlay them with a moiré effect. ...

i last-minute* mocked up some background visuals for a party featuring ambient music. (i kept them running all night (12 hours) on a backlit screen near the dj booth and never really had to tune them. they were interesting enough to be entertaining while focused on, but didn’t dominate the space). i took a simple existing function from the hydra library and added a few lines for audioreactivity (color and distortion); black background was key to keep this looking more subdued and adding some forgiveness to the projected edges. ...
