A series of visuals for Flying Lotus's latest tour — a collection of vignettes featuring flowy, monochromatic creatures & spaces with enigmatic behaviors that are influenced and informed by audio stems (real-time and/or pre-rendered).

Inhabitants display an extensive variety of forms, sonic presence, and movement. Each appears uniquely functional in how it interacts with its environment. Set on the martian landscape of an unknown celestial object located within the Messier 81 galaxy.
Different parameters of the creature and environment can be tied to different frequencies and stems in real-time.

These monochrome scenes are composites of macro footage liquid dynamics I captured, and can act as textural elements on top of geometry, as well as subtle cues in the background. Playback of the footage can sync with audio, speed ramping up and down to match with the beat.

These scenes are driven by animated displacement maps in 3D, creating liquid-like movement. Further manipulation is achieved by adjusting and stretching the animated geometry with a series of deformers. Every parameter can be tied to & driven by audio.

Using a simple depth pass achieves a very high-contrast, minimalist, abstract set of forms. The beauty of this technique is that it works seamlessly with any set of geometry you put in the scene -- cloth simulations, noise-driven deformations, etc.
Like all the others, audio-reactive movement can inform the animation of the geometry in these scenes.

I'm an artist & designer who's signature style has been commisioned by some of the largest brands and entertainment acts in the world.
I've worked with companies such as Google, designing VR experiences, as well as Adult Swim, where my short film aired on national TV.
My personal art has been exhibited at public spaces in Japan, Malaysia, Madrid, Chicago, New York, as well as at the Beeple Studios Grand Opening.
