Amsterdam Cello Biennale!
"From 5 to 13 November the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ will once again be seething with Dutch and international soloists, ensembles and orchestras for nine eventful days.

The predominating theme of this Biennale is the international cello ensemble. The ‘Berliners’ will grace the Biennale with their presence, alongside ensembles from the USA, Belgium, Latvia, France, the Netherlands and even China. The Biennale will be one colossal cello feast. The programming will appeal to interested passers-by, seasoned music lovers and cello fanatics alike, as well as to children and young talent. The Mega Children’s Cello Orchestra will set as many eager hearts racing as the appearance of Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker."

A small showreel showcasing a few experiments with motion effects and a dark, distorted synchronized audio soundtrack. This piece consists of scraps and pieces from random animations, but the soundtrack really makes it work as a whole. Please do turn up the volume for this one.

My company, Strukt, realized this installation with the node-based programming language VVVV. We built this letter-universe to functioned as a soothing ambient visual but also created type-matrix pictures and fonts to feature the participants of “The design:project”, a competition hosted by Mercedes-Benz.

The real-time animation was screened on a 20 meter wide 3x-HD projection using only one computer to create the output signals. This system was later on also used to screen content during the award ceremony. For convenience we enabled OSC commands to control the letter-universe with the help of an iPod Touch.
