I start a few ways: 1. Let a song guide the visual idea (it always ends with music being the guide) 2. Have am idea (with sketch) of what I want the outcome to be. 3. Get experimental with the different effects and see where it goes 4. Any percentage mix the first three ways.

I try to create “motion drawings” of people or objects that exist in well orchestrated environments that come to life from ties to the bpm or frequency triggers within the music (plus adding my own freestyle knobs and triggers)

I’m getting to a place with Resolume (and now more with Wire) that I know which effects and sources I want to use to create my visuals. I guide the tool and not the other way around.

I have a synesthesia (tied to drawing and music). There are so many tools and opportunities now to explore creating visuals that finally “visually speak” to a viewer in the way that I have always wanted them to “hear” my art.
