Modulated Linear Videosynthesis Study

Modulated Linear Videosynthesis Study is an expressive video work exploring the relationship of interacting forms entirely created by the use of linear video synthesis and transformational geometry. Video synthesis is a compositional technique, and seeks to intrigue the viewer by a sense of induction. Forms are "sculpted" by the electronic medium, creating symbolic and non-objective modes of video, whose images reflect an inner sense. The design aesthetic here is abstraction allied to the concepts of order and arrangement of the image sequences, which are important to maintain visual rhythm. The philosophy is one of "additive synthesis" of building patterns. The construction of images includes softened lines, curves, circles and organic shapes. These are mixed together with 50% or 100% superimposition effect, and either positively or negatively mixed to determine how much of each image will be represented. Multi-layered video layer composites combine abstract softened shapes with hard-edge stripes. Various moire effects are produced with animation forming as a result of linear movement and the optical relationships of interacting layers. The background uses linear modulating forms and patterns, while the foreground primarily uses colour "clouds" and other organic forms. Inspiration for this work comes from the video that can be produced from such devices as the EMS Spectron video synthesizer, and its ability to generate moving planes of imagery without the use of any external camera signal. The techniques to simulate some of the possibilities of this instrument, and to create dynamic modulating video forms that operate within their own frames of reference are what interests the video artist. It is the organic "analogue" fluidity of the video generated that becomes a fundamental aspect of this kind of video art.

Love this! Really amazing.

Is there any chance that you would make something for my music tracks?

You can hear me on Myspace under the name METADATA

My old computer struggles rendering such imagery, though I have many spare sequences not used in all tracks - something to think about.

Many thanks again.

Well if you like my music and have something that you feel would fit a track that would be cool. Have a listen and see, when you have the time. I am on myspace at metadatabase. Anyway, keep it up, cool stuff!

This is really good my friend

Love the overall feel to this, very analog

5***** ; )
