A montage of images created using acoustically enhanced video feedback, set to a variation of the "Moonlight Sonata"

Melodicon

bridging the gap between sight and sound

Acoustically enhanced video feedback is a combination of two graphic generation techniques I´ve been developing and experimenting with since the summer of 2003. Video feedback is produced by connecting a video camera to a video projector, then directing the camera at the live, projected image. By intercepting the signal from the camera to the projector and enhancing selected colors, shades, and degrees of saturation based on some acoustic input, a form of visual entropy ensues, creating a wide variety of abstract images.
