New work: Drone Paintings

Hello!

I have a quick update that I'm excited to share. Today I'm launching a new set of work, a series of sorts: they are called Drone Paintings.

DRONE PAINTING - 01

What is a drone painting? It's an audiovisual experiment made up of two components: a set of synthesizers playing generative melodies (audio) and randomly dropped "watercolor" blobs (visual).

By generative, I mean that the music creates a random sequence of notes within a set scale. This means that the melody and timing of notes is always changing, shifting.

Best of all, the whole thing takes place in the browser: so you can visit it at any time, and every time it will be different in it's own way. Different notes, different colors.

I hope to do more in this series. In addition to the first release, I wrote an essay about the motivation behind this work and the unique potential of generative music published in the browser. You can read that on my notepad here.

That's it for now.

Listen/watch DRONE PAINTING - 01 now.
