This video, by abre ojos, is third in an ongoing series of live sound & visual improvisations using a modular synthesizer, Dave Smith Evolver, Nord Micro Modular and Quartz Composer on a Macbook Pro.

Artists comment:

abre ojos is a term mentioned in a book called 1606 – An Epic Adventure by Evan McHugh. 1606 is about the multiple discoveries and voyages to Australia before the “official discovery” by Captain James Cook in 1788. “Abre Ojos” was a constant saying by the Spanish and Portuguese sailors while navigating the dangerous reef infested waters surrounding Australia’s coastline meaning “Watch Out” or “Open Your Eyes” there is danger all around.

This version is a demo version that doesn’t allow saving and has a splash screen here and there in the output.
