Quality of Time

I bought a Korg MicroX synth to replace an Emu Proteus 2000 that *died* (I don't even know how that happened!) -- and I was just messing around with it one night and recorded this little improv piece (making heavy use of the built in arpeggiator [I'm not really a keyboardist.]) Anyone who knows me (and that's not many) knows how I like aleatory music -- improv qualifies. Anyway -- I liked the "melody" and used Logic to "harmonize" it with a kind of psychedelic trance and a heartbeat. I still like listening to it.


A couple of days ago, I wanted to try out some stuff in Motion. Just practicing really. I originally started out to set up a "needle meter" but starting out, I just set up a simple rotation. I thought to myself, I'll just knock out an "obligatory" clock -- it was just supposed to be simple... LOL... Well, it *looks* simple.


The face is set up to be a kind of mirror. The image in the face was placed with a drop zone, positioned behind the camera, and lit with it's own light. I moved all the clock parts into z-space.

There are two motions in this vid: 1) the entire clock oscillates on the y-axis and 2) only the clock face oscillates -- it's quite an optical illusion if you realize the hands do NOT move! It's kind of cool watching them pass into and out of the face!


The ending is my new "vLogo" which can be seen on my new site at sight-creations.com
