Using a bespoke video analysis tool developed by the author, the performance is intended as research into audio-visual synchresis, reminiscent of the works of Michel Chion on audio-visual relations, as well as work of classical composers (as well as scientists) in relating color (visible light frequency) and music (audible sound frequencies).

What is needed
For the Performance:
Sound Amplification (quadrophonic sound system with 4 speakers minimum)
Audio interface and speaker amplifier with 4 outputs (or 2 stereo amplifiers)
2 full HD projectors with a minimum of 1920x1080 native resolution
***The performance can be expanded with ambisonics, using a speaker arrangement to fit the stage plan.
for this, a minimum of 8 - 12 speakers is required, as well as amplifiers for the speakers, cables, and a dedicated audio interface, with a minimum of 8 outputs.
What the artists brings
The software is composed of two parts: video analysis, and audio comparisons. The machine simplifies the videos to 12 hues color-space, exposing the pixels hiding in the gradients of the animations, reminiscing experiments done in the 60s and 70s with electronic music and motion graphics.
Through utilization of video footage manipulation, we combine electronic IDM aesthetics with
