"Impossible Buildings" (Ableton Live, Arduino and uVGA)

I am working on trying to incorporate synchronised, synthesised video into performances where a computer is not necessarily available or desirable.

This is my first attempt at using 4D system's uVGA module. This is a small circuit board that takes serial commands and generated video that can be displayed on any VGA-compatible display device (projector, monitor etc).

In this video, a minimalistic drum track data from Ableton Live is sent to an Arduino, which is in turn connected to a 4D systems uVGA and a 15" monitor. Some nice visuals are thus generated.

If only i had a data projector... then this sort of stuff would look much better.

Code, circuit etc:

Another great creation.

I think that is called demoscene. and i think you should try to make something as good as the amiga demos, for the arduino!

@flipflipflipputain aaaaaaaaaaaah! ok! but...what about tech notices...how it work?

[flipflipflipputain]

@Janlukino experimentation & beauty?

[Pouffmusic]

Fun!

Thats not as good as resolume or modul8

[zealtv]

way cool sir. i'm off to investigate.

:O too cool

[Musiccalculater]

what happens if you put the tempo on 999 and mash on the beat repeat.??
