The visuals are mixed algorithmically, with minimal human intervention. The AI I wrote makes ~95% of the decisions.

Made entirely with dvj, interim_descriptor's open source music video DJ+VJ software. No commercial video editing software was used to create this video.

This video assumes it will be displayed in a dark environment, on an ultra-bright projector, so it can assault your fully dilated pupils. Viewing it on your computer monitor, in a lit room, with Vimeo's white background, at 30 frames per second, will be pretty much like listening to dubstep on laptop speakers. The best way to experience this, as intended, is to see it live.

    The OSX version of dvj should be released later this year. It can do this sort of thing in reaction to your DJing from within dvj, or with an audio input from another live performer.

    Glad you like the video.

    Great job! The transitions are spot on, and the synesthesia between the audio and video is neat. The one at 1:45 was especially powerful, and I also liked the "spider" at 3:30. The particle interlude fit seamlessly where you put it. If I saw it live, I think my head would explode. :-)
