Various analog electronics generate audio signals which are put into a
control-voltage-to-MIDI converter. This stream of MIDI data is used to trigger a custom Max/MSP patch that generates graphics based on the
LOGO/Turtle programming language. The MIDI data is also sent to digital instruments in Ableton Live. I was attracted to the unpredictability and non-musical qualities of this MIDI converter.
Visuals are also created by misusing a video
time base corrector, patching it into itself, creating a camera-less feedback loop. Audio sends are also sent into this video patch, making a sound/image synesthetic experience for the viewer.
Thanks for arranging these shows,

Matthew Lawrence and Jason Tranchida, and
Justin Lincoln.
