Visuals

Visuals are the bulk of what I do for Tech-Noid Systems, and that’s growing as we take the rig out to more parties.

Audio-reactive, shader-based projection and projection mapping — nearly everything I run is beat, tempo, and/or frequency-spectrum reactive in some form or another. My programming and VJing can be seen on my twitch stream as well as on the streams for b10burd3n’s Controlled Chaos and Tech-Noid System shows.

I also build Audiophore — a low-latency bridge from Synesthesia to the rest of the lighting rig: Hue, WLED, Art-Net and lasers, all driven from live audio.

Current setup:

  • Apple MacBook M4 Pro (visual system)
  • Synesthesia Live
  • HeavyM
  • iPad (TouchOSC controller for Synesthesia)
  • Focusrite Scarlett 4i4
  • BenQ DLP projector
  • 100" back-projection screen
  • OBS (for live streaming)

In the wild:

DJing

I stream occasionally on Twitch and archive my streams to SoundCloud and YouTube

I mix on the fly, nothing is ever planned using the following gear

  • 2x Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2
  • 2x Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntables
  • Allen & Heath XONE:92 Mixer

Recording and Broadcast is achieved using the following hardware and software:

  • Rode Rodecaster Pro II
  • Rode Pod Mics
  • Focusrite Scarlett 18i20
  • Apple Mac Mini M2
  • BUTT (for radio broadcast)
  • OBS (twitch / youtube video feeds)
  • Guest Mixes — EMP Radio’s Demo Derby and Slappy Hour (often b2b with b10burd3n), plus guest spots on {decompress} and 916junglist’s Inside The Ride
