There's a track I've been listening to on repeat for months. Kinda want to make a video piece for it. So... might do that. Hello Audacity, it's been a while. Apparently they now have a cloud service and plugin store that they heavily and deceptively push on you which isn't great.

Bluetooth headphones are nice for many things, but cutting out the first second or so from the start of any audio being played makes audio / video editing super annoying.

Might do a tutorial and file download for this RayTK scene after the video I'm currently editing, along with a version that offsets a 3d surface with the pattern. And maybe toss in mediapipe control?

Interested?

I'll do some proper posts about this soon. But for now, check it out we did a thing! A 10m high thing!

Content by grnch with some color edits by me.

Just finished recording a video about how to share audio analysis across multiple scenes. A few people had asked about it. Should be done with editing in a few days.

Dear LEDs (those affiliated with receiver card 11),
Please stop being red all the time. Sometimes it's a nice color, but I don't think it's necessarily better than the colors we're asking you to be. Let's focus on those colors instead ok?
Thanks!

Be polite but firm with your equipment.

If anyone's at LDI next week stop by the circle bar and look for the giant led volume.
We. Have. Pong.

Those numbers become so abstract and the comparisons so arbitrary. It's easy to lose perspective.

But it feels amazing to know that I've helped some people make art.

I look at this and I see all the things I wish were better.
The coloring is too uniform. The pattern is muddled and indistinguishable.
The depth range of the surface cuts off too abruptly.

I do also like it generally. I just have to push past all of those things.

downside of commercial work is i can't talk about half of it and i really want to.
getting paid is good though... so... tradeoffs.
getting hypothetically paid in a future in which a project succeeds is at least hypothetically good.

I spent today debugging an led processor. I'll have some fun stuff to share in a week or so.
Anyways here's a rework of a classic RayTK technique.

It's been difficult to get anything past my "is it good enough to post?" filter recently.
But sometimes a displaced surface with a noise pattern is ok.

I've spent my life chasing the creative flow state. So often it's just out of reach, but sometimes it just switches on, which is nice.

We can always use more rainbows.
Except if we hit maximum capacity at which point we might need to start compressing them so we can fit more.

Sometimes I get in the right state to add new stuff and sometimes I just trace and outline what's already there. It's sort of nice to be able to keep momentum without inspiration.

Until I run out of stuff to trace. 😐

Apparently YouTube view counts can decrease. Maybe it's when Google detects that people have forgotten what they watched?

This one's from 2016, well into my grey scale era, which sort of continues to this day though sometimes I do colors now

I've been getting into spectral color fields. They've got so many colors, and spectra. Some additional clever commentary on what is essentially just a grid with some rainbow stuff.
