below the short version:

Tools and workflow:

The music and control are made on an ipad: synth on Oscillator, drums on DM1. Both are sent to Turnado multi-effect throuhg Audiobus, and them to ouput, wired to the computer.
Turnado has four X/Y pads to manage 8 different effects for the audio, but at the same time they send midi signals to the computer via wifi.

The vídeo is made on Quartz Composer. There are two almost alike vídeos transformed by the "v002 Glicth analog" patch ( http://v002.info/plugins/v002-glitch ), the "datamosh/bangnoise" patch ( http://kriss.cx/tom/datamosh ) and a pixelate filter. There is also a "midi controller receiver" so all the parameters of those nodes are controlled live via midi from the Turnado X/Y pads.

For record purpose the image is sent vía Syphon to "Syphon Recorder" witch takes the audio from the line in.

On Performance:

An interesting point here is that being music and video controlled at the same time, your movements are guided by both, and if what you are doing is cool for the audio but not for the the vídeo you have to move on, and vice versa.
The same way if you want to do a certain thing for the video it will affect the audio and the other way back. So all the time is finding a balance between music and video, knowing that any movement will affect both inevitably.
