John Whitney's demo reel of work created with his analog computer/film camera magic machine he built from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. Also Whitney and the techniques he developed with this machine were what inspired Douglas Trumbull (special fx wizard) to use the slit scan technique on 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Self generating modular synthesizer (Blacet + Modcan) patch with camera-less video feedback - performed live.
This is a 45 second sample from the 20something minute audio-visual synthesis piece, recorded on Monday, November 12, at the University of Sheffield Sound Studios, by Jesus H. and Wolf G. It was released on a limited number of DVD's by the University of Sheffield. On Tuesday, November 13, 2007, the Bob System was presented in a lecture given by Jesus and Wolf. This video was exclusively created on the Bob System, an analogue modular audio-visual synthesizer, capable of producing both sound and video in real time. The design of the Bob System was based on the VIDIUM system, the Rutt-Etra Video Synthesizer, Stephen Beck's Direct Video Synthesizer and Donald Buchla's Electronic Music Box. It was designed in 2005 and the prototype was completed in 2007, by Jesus H.
