BIOLOGICAL Visual Music

BIOLOGICAL Visual Music from Synaesthesik on Vimeo.

"Biological Visual Music" is an audiovisual piece that is a personal interpretation and experimentation about the 'Synaesthesia Phenomenon', using the music of the techno producer BIOLOGICAL, and based in the visual concept of what could means ‘Biological’ itself, from 3 different perspectives: the microorganisms, the geometry and technology. I made a visual composition that is a mixture of different techniques such as motion graphics, stop motion, 3D animation, video editing from the EYE archive film and also compositions made in a visual programming environment as Quartz Composer, always trying to get the most loyal interaction between music and image.

About the setup, i've worked in Ableton Live and Resolume. So, Ableton send midi events through OSC to Resolume, and triggers videos in synchro that i altered with effects in real time. This also includes some colorful shapes i made in Quartz, that follows Midi notes from Ableton. For the color correspondence i made my own equivalence having in account the tint of a colour and the height of a sound: so, the high frequency sounds will bring active colours, and the low frequency sounds will bring passive colours.
