if I may branch the question a bit... How many here also consider
themselves programmers?
(waves hands about)
I'm actually working at the moment (well, haven't touched the code base
for a few months, but wanting to get back into it) that kind of mimics
the looping-envelope interface that Live uses to control video. Idea
being, to create abstract imagery that is constructed and controlled in
a way similar to the way techno (of the Richie Hawtin variety) can be/is
constructed and controlled.
I love direct connections between the visual and the aural, in the
manner of the more abstract bits of Fantasia - where you'd have lines
and shapes dancing to the music in a way that seems to have a direct
correspondence. But there seems to be precious little work done around it..
I'm a bit of a sound<->sense of energy synaesthete, rhythms make sense
to me as pushing and pulling of forces and bunching up and swirling,
especially big fat hip-hop and dub derived rhythms or chunky minimal
techno stuff, and a medium-term goal of mine is to realise what I feel
in terms of visual imagery. It requires a bit of learning and a lot of
time though so I haven't really got round to it yet :)
