You know you like it

DJ Snake

I processed an AI-generated clip of a runner in TouchDesigner. I mapped the track’s energy to displacement and feedback, producing overlapping trails. Drag the divider to compare the source with my processed version.

Where are ü now

Justin Bieber

I used separate high- and mid-frequency channels to control displacement. I added feedback trails and adjusted their decay so the shape changes with the melody and drum hits.

SDP interlude

Travis Scott

I built concentric rings and mapped their radius to low-frequency amplitude. I placed particles along the rings and used the spectral centroid to control brightness and scatter.

SDP interlude II

Travis Scott

I built a second version of the same track using noise, repeated edge filters, and feedback. Bass controls the tiling and displacement, producing the scratched, folded-panel pattern.

Erase your social

stham

I built the jellyfish-like form from copies of a deformed curve, then added a surface and scattered points. Snare and low-frequency channels control its rotation; blue-purple colour mapping and feedback blur give the edges a glow.

Love parade

jacidorex

I mapped the audio spectrum to circle radius, corner-pin distortion, and feedback opacity. I smoothed the input to retain distinct hits and let the image fade during quiet passages.

How it's built

How I map audio to motion. I start with audioAnalysis.tox, a community TouchDesigner container that extracts frequency-band values. I smooth the channels with a Lag CHOP and remap their ranges to control circle radius and corner-pin displacement. I then blend the distorted image with the previous frame to create trails. Adjusting the smoothing and feedback opacity changes how long each hit remains visible.

Money longer

Lil Uzi Vert

I processed stock footage of blooming flowers and used blob tracking to extract positions and shapes. Kick, snare, and rhythm channels control displacement; I adjusted smoothing to keep the petals from jittering between hits.
