Vector Synthesis

2018, attempted to create an experimental audio-visual using an audio signal from a sound synthesizer feeding into a modded CRT TV.

pd.Osc is an audio-visual piece created for my graduation project in 2020 which is a further development of my interests in vector synthesis. Custom-made Max patches and software synthesizers are used to generate the audio source and the composition is arranged in Ableton Live. The 2-channel audio signal is fed into an oscilloscope running in X-Y mode.
