Description

Come walking with me! Let’s start early so we can see the morning sun. There are some huckleberries up on West Rock we can pick. We can gather some fiddleheads as we go down into the valley. I know where some oyster mushrooms are growing by West River that we can harvest. We can check on the swamp mallow there too. Maybe we can identify a destroying angle death cap in the darkest part of the woods. Uh-oh, some rain is coming in. Did you pack an umbrella? The patch I developed for this session let me mix or key 5 layers of video signal together. It utilized a chain of 4 video mixers, starting with a Panasonic MX50. The output of the MX50 is looped back to it’s input for juicy internal feedback, the waves of rainbow colors. Luma-keyed into that is a camera-to-screen feedback loop that is modulated by an Erogenous Tones Structure module set to feedback mode. It is producing the multicolored cloud formations. The signal goes to 2 Roland V4-EX mixers that add signals from my video feedback diorama and modular video synth system. The diorama is loaded with a couple sculptures of found objects that are rotating. A GoPro is feeding back in the diorama to make the dark woods passage. The last mixer in the chain is a Roland V1-HD. It is adding the foreground landscape, which is a huge sycamore leaf I found. The leaf is rotating on a jewelry display turntable which is being shot by a canon XA30 camcorder. Behind the leaf is my last monitor screen, so the camcorder is also feeding back on that, creating the big trails. I’ll do a finer breakdown with photos of the patch on an X thread.
