Looking Outwards – 01

The piece of artwork I’ll be evaluating is an audio-reative visualizer called “Red and Blue” from Max MSP Youtuber, AmazingMaxStuff. It’s a device you can import into an audio project, in my case music, and edit parameters to make visuals that react to the audio project. I’m not sure how long it took to create, though looking into the projects code, it must have taken at least a few days of work (after years of learning Max MSP). Prior works the creator could be inspired by include visuals for sound waves, as the the project itself is very representative of how many audio devices depict sound in motion. ‘Red and Blue’ opens a lot of possibilities for Max MSP audio-reative visualizers, as it’s a complex, but easily understandable device that allows for plenty of customization for music artists to create visuals to all their audio’s work. The device itself requires a purchase, but here is a link to the Youtube video showcasing the device.
