Looks like I have some major concerts engagements coming up (in Europe especially) and I keep returning to some of the work Kawehi does during her music performances as great examples  of what I would love to be able to do in SA with visual material (I have created workarounds using SA in combination with other tools, but there are just that, workarounds, needing so much hardware, it is becoming almost impossible to travel with all that stuff, see photo below to understand that).

Kawehi’s command of loops is amazing, she makes me drool thinking I could do something like that in SA (she’s so good she makes me listen to music that is definitely not my cup of tea).

See for yourself, there are many other magnificent examples of her art on line, starting here

  • Europe? Anywhere near Paris by any chance?

    I remember following a link you posted before to someone using loops (maybe Kawehi), and I would love to do things like that with SA, but I have no idea where to start...

    I am working with two musicians now who use loops, I find that fascinating.

    • It will start in Italy (Rome), but there are already hints it will travel elsewhere in Europe (no firm details yet, but it will happen as I am working with a well-known Italian musician who does concerts “for a living," and I do have good contacts in Belgium as well).

      However, I first need to make 12 movies (around the 5-6 minute each) and have 6 done, #7 almost done, so there’s still lots to do.

      Loops are fascinating, I have made those up on DVDs and QT movies playing from hard drives, but if they do get mixed in real-time (using my Edirol video mixer), they are not generated in real-time. Using SA’s “Run Loop Action” can be used as well, but as interesting as it is, it is nowhere near what Kawehi does with her music loops.

  • Some nice audio looping from Dub FX -

Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

The Overload

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…

Teenage Tongue Cult

Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
