Using Touchdesigner, I created a piece called \u201cEventually No. 1\u201d. The title, along with many of my other projects made in this software, are inspired by the Australian-psychedelic-rock band, Tame Impala. I saw Tame Impala live in Brooklyn back in 2022, and I have since been chasing the high and euphoria his performance first brought me. The eccentric and vibrant visuals he displayed coupled with his feel-good music made this experience one I will never forget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I was in the beginning stages of learning Touchdesigner, which I am still very much in, I often asked myself how this software could be applied in the professional world\u2013and that is when I was reminded of Tame Impala at The Barclays Center in 2022. The different operators in Touchdesigner each produced a unique effect which resembled the visuals at Tame Impala\u2019s concert as well as those at concerts of other artists, typically from the EDM genre. From this point forward, I envisioned my project being projected behind Tame Impala or another one of my favorite artists while they perform live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of how this project was created, it all starts with a noise texture operator which I found to be responsible for the vibrant colors I was looking to depict. I wanted some movement to the visual so I composited the noise TOP with a ramp TOP which gave the visual a circular and serene motion. I decided to connect another ramp TOP to the composited operators to further influence the movement of the colors and overall structure of the visual. Finally, I wanted more control over the vividity and color spectrum of the piece so I used a level TOP to influence those factors. A lot of the creation of this piece was trial and error and simply identifying what I liked and did not like about a certain effect. Overall, any decision I made throughout the process of creating this was made with respect to my chosen theme of psychedelic-rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEventually No. 1\u201d is one of my earliest creations in a software I plan to continue learning for years to come. I am not only proud of this piece, but I am inspired by the endless possibilities this work could give me. I am currently working on audio reactive visuals using Touchdesigner, and although this project is not audio reactive, it serves as a stepping stone to the next phase of my creations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
