bloodbit - Disintegrate live performance

About

A collaboration with Seattle based musician bloodbit. I’ve always been inspired by a particular minimalist live performance setup used by musician Nosaj Thing that employed just a single projector as the only source of light and visual feedback. I found the simplicity and potential for audio-visual narrative enticing. One day I decided I wanted to try my hand at this type of setup, and using my friend’s short throw projector, the studio space I rented out with friends in Seattle at the time, and a music/live performance from my friend bloodbit, we made it happen.

Visuals and animation were designed and created by me. I made everything in Unity using particle systems and custom shaders.

This is the result of my first and certainly not last collaboration with BloodBit. I've been a big fan of his music ever since we crossed paths last year. The timing was right for both of us to collaborate on something, as he was in the process of creating new music to perform live with and I was gearing up to work on some bigger personal projects involving VR and live audio-visual performance. I'm happy to share this out, with more to come in the future! Music: https://soundcloud.com/bloodbit Visuals: http://optical-rhythm.com/ All visuals are real-time, running through Unity
