Glimmer is the new album by Micro Audio Waves, and just like in the past Zoetrope, they partnership with the coreographer Rui Horta to create an unique and immersive concert experience. Just like in Zoetrope, I was once again privileged in being inside this epic journey.
My work consisted in creating visual digital contents, writing a custom software in Touchdesigner to agregate videos and interactive visual contents, LED strips control, and also to trigger syncronized events to Ableton Live and GrandMA Light Mixer.
For me this was a massive challenge, to be able to do everything from scratch on a tight timeline, easy to manage and update,, and also easy to operate live.
In this video I’m showing a little bit of the Sync/Trigger Program made in Cycling 74 MAX. This one sends a trigger to Touchdesigner and simultaneously to Ableton Live.
If there is a precount bit in ableton Live it delays the trigger to TD. This way the videos are always in sync with the audio.
The link between Max and TouchDesigner is through OSC.
The link between Max and Ableton Live is via RTPMidi.
There are two computers running the same TouchDesigner program, in case of failure, the other computer takes control. There’s an HDMI switch to commute from one output to the other.
There are also two computers running the same Ableton Live Session, syncronized with an iConnectivity interface. My Max program sends a Midi command to iConnectivity, and this command is sent to both Live instances, to TazLite plugin.
The following images show a little bit of my visual art for Glimmer.

It’s not about the destination
Be grateful for every step, embrace your challenges, and celebrate victories.
Slow down, and appreciate small things.
Let your heart and intuition guide you in the right directions.
Embrace every moment with courage, live authentically, and appreciate the journey itself.
Connect with Mother Nature. Immerse yourself in the Universe.
Music performed live on a SynthStrom Deluge.
Video recorded with a Gopro Hero 9, edited in Davinci Resolve.
This musical piece explores the Buddhist idea of Maya – the illusion of objective reality that surrounds us. Immerse yourself in the sounds and rhythms of this musical voyage, that leads us to reflect on the impermanent and interdependent nature of all things, and to free ourselves from the illusion that imprisons us. Let yourself be carried away by the music and the beauty of life, and allow it to lead you to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of existence.

Tenho vindo a trabalhar nesta animação já lá vai umas semanas, desde que descobri o Stable Diffusion. O que mais gosto neste algoritmo é que corre no collab, e por requerer tão poucos recursos computacionais é possível usar o collab quase ininterruptamente com a versão Pro. Esta animação é uma mistura de prompts e estilos, gosto especialmente de ver a evolução do estilo à medida que a animação avança. Isto deve-se a estar a aprender e a habituar-me às nuances do Deforum, especialmente a possibilidade de interpolação de prompts.
A música é gravada ao vivo.
I’ve been working on this animation since I discovered SD, and later, the Deforum version. What is great is that it runs on collab and because it is low on computational resources, it runs almost endless on collab with the Pro version. This animation is a mix of prompts and styles, and I like to see how the style evolves throughout the animation as I get used to Deforum features, specially the prompt interpolation, for me is a game changer.
The music is recorded live.
As ferramentas AI tornaram-se muito gratificantes e imediatas, e na maioria das vezes os resultados são supreendentes. Existem tantos parâmetros e detalhes técnicos para explorar que tornam estes processos em viagens intermináveis.
Obtive estas três imagens e pensei que poderia ser um exercício interessante fazer uma foto-montagem, e aproveitar para sacudir a ferrugem das skills de photoshop.
A imagem final está longe da perfeição, mas adorei o processo.
A música é gravada ao vivo por mim.

It’s very gratifying the way AI tools work and interacts with you, and most of the time returns always great results. There are so many parameters and technical details to explore that make this an endless journey.
I came out with these three images and thought it would be a great opportunity to remove the rust out of my photoshop skills. It’s far away from being a perfect image, but it was a great exercise.
The music was recorded by me performing live.
