Future Flashback

Generative live visuals and 3D renders for a club night inspired by 2000s nostalgia.

Drawing on my early music experiences, I created a set of generative visuals and 3D renders to channel 2000s pop nostalgia .

I created a setup for performance linking TouchDesigner and Resolume via Syphon, with external MIDI control and external audio input, BPM clock or Ableton Link connection manipulating visuals in real-time.

I took visual cues from 2000s pop music videos I remember from my childhood and responded by creating 3D motion graphics in Blender and audio-reactive generative visuals in TouchDesigner.

I looked at Umbrella by Rihanna’s use of distortion and rippling, Bulletproof by La Roux’s 3D and fractal effect, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue’s computer-generated buildings and Poker Face by Lady Gaga’s tech product placements.
