Re: [microsound] visual artists / programmers

[cyborgk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This type of A/V work can be done easiest in modular environemnts that
allow you to directly route any audio parameter to any visual parameter
(or vice-versa). Good combinations that come to mind are: Max/MSP +
Jitter, PD + Gem, or (using OSC) SuperCollider + Processing.

I'm working on building PD+Gem stuff right now to do this.
