Your video is excellent, little-scale aesthetic nailed.
drowning in a never-ending sea of meaninglessness was the aesthetic

What did you use for the track?
oh, just the Lex Luger kit and operator in Live.
I really like all the space you left in the melodic lines of the instruments. It really allows the reverb to reinforce the space of the song in a great way.
Loving the constrain and the visuals really frame the best bits nicely

Those de-tuned instruments are pretty sick. Love this track. Good first showing.
ugh can't see the video 
really like this... reminds me of an Amon Tobin track on valium 
This track is so so nice, enjoyed every second of it! Love your work!

Cheers, simon!
Very relaxing and atmospheric piece... Are those black spaces algoritmically generated, right? Seems like the "plasma" effect but with black pixels
yessssssssss
the ebb and flow between the abrupt reverbtrailstops and the cascading notes works really well here.

great question. so, its basically controlled digital video feedback, where pixel displacement is controlled via data ramps generated from the same MIDI data that also generates note events (probably: kicks, snares, hats). Not sure if that fully answers your question, but the process is quite controlled.

Yes, I guess I could picture it more less. I've been following your M4L patches for a while, although I'm myself a Pd kinda guy
I'll try to achieve something similar in Processing, and I hope I could show you my own take on your algoriths. Anyway, it's a good start to know you use the MIDI data as seed, apart from being a simple boolean trigger.
lovely piece. the 'bends' reminded me of souvlaki era slowdive in a way.
Beautiful piece with a fine atmosphere. Digging the sparse guitar, deep beat, sense of space all around. Excellent work!

Cheers fam!
Man, Operator is doing a great track of the string tone. Massive bass with nice cuts of percussion. Dig the noise washes.
