SOLVOID Extricate

SOLVOID Extricate from Paul Harrison on Vimeo.
A quick live mix of SOLVOID's cut Extricate made using the new CoGe 1.4 VJ software and Quartz Composer. Three layers were used. A built in Generator for the Star layer, a recording of a Mandelbox quartz composition for the second layer, and a 3d Model "player" written in Quartz Composer for the third layer using a COLLADA format mesh file as it's media. Makes use of some of the new features of CoGe 1.4, with a dry/wet fade on the Core Image Effect (Black and White), and the Core Image opacity mixing capabilities of LayerGroups (to get clear layer separation between layers 2 and 3. Also a bit of Audio Analysis used to provide synch/reactivity to the soundtrack. Finally, used a Random behavior to make the Star twinkle to the music: Angle was automated with Peak Audio, but randomized so it doesn't just twist with the beat. One take, no edits. What you see is what you get. Oh, yeah: Used an old MPD16 with one fader and aftertouch pads to drive the effects.
