Open Source: Creating Visual Music with Videosync
Membership plan: Going Deeper | Topics: Visual Arts
Course overview
The complexities of audiovisual creation and performance often prevent artists from exploring its full potential. In this talk, audiovisual artist and Showsync co-founder Tarik Barri will introduce Videosync, a program that makes visual creation intuitive and accessible and has been used in performances by artists such as Thom Yorke. Seamlessly integrated with Ableton Live, Videosync enables musicians and visual artists to craft, manipulate, and synchronize visuals with—or independently from—sound, unlocking many, largely untapped creative possibilities. Whether you're a musician interested in adding visuals to your compositions or a visual artist interested in exploring visual time-based composition, this talk covers the core concepts of Videosync, practical tips to get started, and provides examples of where more advanced usage can lead.
