Max is used to translate sounds into visuals. Incoming sound is filtered by an equalizer and each band generates a value related to the peak signal. Signal Values are used to drive a several number of parameters in jitter objects.

if you want, you can add some manual controls via monome arc4

I use a combination of Modular Synthesizer and Max/MSP patches to generate sound and create vector graphics for Laser Shows, Oscilloscopes, or modified Vectrex monitors (a game console of the 80s).

MATTER  live act merges sounds & visuals textures into a dense continuum.

MATTER's sound is based only on modular synthesizers system driven by Julien Bayle
6 channels are feeding a Max7 patch providing deep level of ambisonic spatialization based on HOA library.  

MATTER's visuals system is based on a database of subtle footages made using macrophotography and other tricks by Sebastian Sarti. Another Max7 patch provides a way to play videos in any orders, looping them with custom specific loop points on the fly, reverse direction, changing playing rate and flipping orientation too.

MATTER provides a whole system for improvisation with high degrees of freedom for both artists. Indeed, the Max7's visuals patch is linked to the modular system itself using Expert Sleepers' ES8 eurorack module. Each system are sharing data and synchronization on the fly during the performance and influences each other.

John Chowning, researcher & composer, especially known for his work on frequency modulation sound synthesis algorithm, expressed the necessity of including and considering the proper space where the music will be spread as a very early part of the composition itself. He wrote : « we sense the space ».

sig.int is an audiovisual live performance exploring different sound synthesis contexts, sound visualization and which uses the spherical environment and multi-channels as one of the core of the synthesis of sound itself.

sig.int is based on the use of hardware modular synthesizer as the unique raw source of sound. The piece evolves all along different contexts involving a maximum of 5 sound module which are analyzed in real-time by a computer and spatialized (placed in the space) using ambisonic algorithms. The space itself is used as a modulator.

Sig.Int is a live A/V performance exploring the different contexts of sound synthesizing and visualization, directly integrating the spherical environment and multiple speakers right at the center of the composition and performance.

«Proteios» represents an artistic vision of protein synthesis and interaction in cells. The creation and interaction of proteins, which constantly happens in every living cell, occupies the central role in life's underlying structure.

These processes and interactions are rebuilt in silica.  The algorithm reads raw DNA data of eukaryotic organisms, looking for genes to transcribe, to splice and to translate into proteins. Subsequently, the interaction of the proteins can be investigated.

While the DNA data and the genes contained dictate the structure of the audiovisual composition, the artist can focus on parts of the composition, affect the speed of these processes and activate or deactivate genes.
