universal_seed
generative album cover / audioreactive visual
I have worked with an electronic music group, called universal_seed.
The “universal seed”, according to medieval alchemy, is the source of all matter in the universe. It is an infinite beginning, the purest form of existence. From this metaphysical standpoint grows every single entity of the world, therefore it contains all possibilities in itself. Only in this point, true equality lies, for the first and for the last time.

GENERATIVE ALBUM DESIGN
I wanted to create an abstract and industrial, but organically built appearance for the album “Basic Wisdom”, so I generated the elements of the design in TouchDesigner by using simple shapes and grids. I generated hundreds of images, then I selected the ones which fit the album's atmosphere the best.

The circle label of the vinyl is also made of generated elements, by modifying the settings of the TouchDesigner project.

AUDIOREACTIVE LIVE VISUAL
My next goal was to make a generative live visual for the performances of the band.
The base of the visual is a rotating sphere of particles.
The visual is being formed by the incoming audio signals of the music performance.
Below you can watch a presentation video about how the visual is being formed by the sounds of the band's jam session.
