Paul Prudence Eff lux “During the piece, the visual information transforms from mechanical forms to linear movements. The music is played by computer recorded 15 differently tuned Steinway pianos. For composer it is like characters of the different weavers, which are knitting their own melodies, using the same pitches, but structures and lines of melodies all the time are in rotation. Melodies as the 15 pianos gather to one structure and sometimes their splits to 15 different lines. The tempo of the music during the piece becomes three times slowly. Music is based on minimalist composition technique and repeating loops.” By : Candas Sisman ( Visuals ) and Egidija Medeksaite (Music) More info here Project1111 “PROJECT 1111 is both an audio/visual piece and a live performance containing 4 sub-pieces (0001, 0010, 0100 and 1000) with a duration of 4 minutes for each. PROJECT 1111 is an exploration of randomness through sounds & visuals. Each source of sounds and visuals generated is based on chance. Then, the system controls more or less the chaos generated by these source to create an immersive A/V experience.” By Julian Bayle. More infor here.

Dark, blurry electronic music and non-linear rhythms meld with hypnotic, abstract visuals, superimposed on a matrix of rods.
Image and sound go hand in hand -each influences the other, feeds off the other- and in this fusion, play with the perception of space and reality.” By Daniel Schwarz (visuals) and Edisonnoside (sound) Euphorie 1024 architecture are definitely in my top of the tops list of live visual artists. If you are into live visuals, video mapping and related stuff you should definitely check their work. They also do an amazing work sharing and releasing their tricks and amazing Quartz-Composer plug-ins with the community. 1024 performing in the middle of transparent screens One of their many projects is EUPHORIE.

Connected via digital processing tools, analogue video and modular audio synthesizers generate a changing flow of abstraction. The result is a live immersive platform where real and artificial landscapes are transformed to the limits of recognition. ” By Sabrina Ratté (visuals) and [Noir] (sound) SJQ++ “In SjQ++, its visual image acts as a catalyst to make the ensemble interact.It visualizes the interactions of each player according to their sounds. The graphics are projected onto the performers’ body and/or behind them. “The system can treat the meaning of sound. For example, it connect the relations of each player through motions of the visualized sounds. In addition, it make each player cooperate/compete by using animation. A dynamic performance appears by control of an interaction flow like them. “ By : Yuta Uozumi (piano/computer), Tadashi Yonago, (trombone/computer),Isao Nakagaito(guitar), Shuhei Otani(bass), Wataru Asada(Drums) and Ryo Kanda (visual/computer).
