The goal of this work was to produce a visual narrative that amplified the musical experience of Harry Dean Lewis and his band in the Deep Space 8K, and in doing so challenge myself to learn new tools such as TouchDesigner in a duo with Visual Artist Florian Klammer.

Going beyond pre-rendered videos, we decided to design a bespoke sequence of visual experiences, navigating between real-time audio-reactive elements and timecoded explorations of 3D scenes. For each song, we conceived and produced a matching visual experience, using TouchDesigner both for the production and the performance.

As a highlight, to accompany “Electric Fizz”, I built a custom GLSL shader pipeline simulating a Reaction-Diffusion chemical reaction using the Gray Scott model, postprocessing it into an inspiring 4K visual experience, envelopping and amplifying the musical creation of Harry Dean Lewis and his band.
