Painting with Sound, Mesh, and Shader
Starting with the 'Fall in Love' music video for Phantogram... I got interested in writing code with audio as input with Fast Fourier transform (FFT), MIDI and OSC to drive animations.
Eventually I'd migrate my creative coding into the 3D space using Meshes and GLSL shaders to displace/transform 3D objects in Real-Time using Processing + HYPE.
Showcasing some of the processes behind this work at the Sub Rosa Lab Space for... Phantogram, Diplo, Squarepusher, Zola Jesus, Pepsi + Pharrell Williams + SuperBowl 50, etc.
