Benjamin Mauch “Augural”

Visual Effects | Music Video

 

This is a music video I created by for Benjamin Mauch for his song Augural releases on Get Strange Records based out of Chicago. The video was created with one live take consisting of video synthesis, video feedback, running audio into the single, and animating this all live by wiggling: nobs, sliders, and T bars.

 

RORY KHAN MOHON “MONOCHROMATIC”

Visual Effects | Music Video

 

This is a music video I created by for Rory Khan Mohon for his song Monochromatic. The visuals for this video where created by using a single photo that April Staso took of Rory. I took the photo and made some new compositions out of it and fed it to my video feedback system. I was happy to listen to this song over and over while each time it sounded a bit better. I think this came out delightfully weird.

 

SiP “Glory Beauty Supply”

Visual Effects | Music Video

 

This is a music video I created by for SiP for his song Glory Beauty Supply released on Get Strange Records based out of Chicago. The video was created with one live take consisting of video I shot in Washington State, video synthesis, video feedback, running audio into the single, and animating this all live by wiggling: nobs, sliders, and T bars.

 

Kires “Slow Lane”

Visual Effects | Music Video

 

This is a music video I created by for kires for his song Slow Lane released on Get Strange Records. This video relies greatly on generative video and feedback process to create a pallet of psychedelic goo with 6 live takes re melded into each other time after time and rescanned of of a CRTV for textures and colors that could not be captured otherwise.

 

PAQ “AIRMALTA”

Music Video | Visual Effects

 

PAQ(based out of Rimini, Italy) asked me to make a music video featuring found footage based on the idea of taking a trip to his song Airmalta. We chatted and came up with the idea based on found footage from the 70’s of commercial airline promotional footage and footage generated to look like a sunset over the ocean. The music is very chill and meditative wile keeping a good head nodding vibe to keep you entertained.

"dust and shadows”

Visual Effects | Music Video

 

This is a music video I created by for prettyhowtown for his song dust and shadows. It is Releases on Get Strange Records based out of Chicago. This song was created live and has a very meditative sound to it. I tried to enhance that mood with lots of color and a generative movement.

Bellow is the clean version of the visual music video I produce for Get Strange Records artist prettyhowtown. This song was created live and has a very meditative sound to it so I tried to enhance that mood with lots of color and a generative movement. I was torn by using the more processed more gear version that is the official release and this clean one with the source material I created.
