Version 1.0 of Processing, an application for creating audio and visual work, has launched.
Processing is a programming language, development environment, and online community that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing quickly [...]

I’m a fan of Glenn Marshall’s music videos and his latest video shows why. 
It’s a generative video exploration of Radiohead’s Bodysnatchers, from In Rainbows. 
Here’s how Marshall explains how the audio is interacting with the generative video:
1. Bass guitar - makes the red shading on the red zeno pulsate.
2. Lead guitar - affects intensity of inner [...]

Glenn Marshall’s second video for Peter Gabriel, based on a recursive, repeating pattern technique developed in After Effects. The song is a remix of the more commercial single Steam.

The narration was adapted from a talk given by Ajahn Brahm, a popular Buddhist teacher, author and abbot of Serpentine monastery, Perth.

Glenn Marshall’s Metamorphosis is programmed entirely in Processing.
The music is Boards of Canada’s Corsair from the Geogaddi album.

This if the final version of Glenn Marshall’s video Music Is Math.
It’s a generative video, and Marshall says “I just let the program run till the end of the music, I felt reluctant to interfere too much by trying to sculpt an ending, and just let the code run its own natural course.”
Nevertheless - it’s [...]
