Strategies for collaborative realtime performance using SpectralGL

Live audio-visual interactive performance and presentation by artist and SpectralGL creator Jesse Gilbert

Audio by Maile Colbert

SpectralGL is a visual instrument that employs an interactive software system to generate real-time 3D animation in response to live or recorded sound. Revealing the deep structure of sound in a visual language that is both intuitively and aesthetically linked to our emotional experience of music, SpectralGL’s interface gives the performer the means to generate highly dynamic 3D scenes that place the observer in a visual relationship that both enhances and reflects on the process of listening.
