Reflection Recreation
Generative Audiovisual, 2022



REFLECTION is the most recent of my Ambient experiments and represents the most sophisticated of them so far. My original intention with Ambient music was to make endless music, music that would be there as long as you wanted it to be. I wanted also that this music would unfold differently all the time - ‘like sitting by a river’: it’s always the same river, but it’s always changing.”
— BRIAN ENO


 
Drawing inspiration from Brian Eno, this work presents an ever-evolving audiovisual journey that continuously unfolds and transforms over time. The melodies, soundscapes, and visual effects are designed to embody the aesthetics of ambient music, reflecting Eno's minimalist and experimental approach. Leveraging the principles of randomness and probability, we use Python and Max/MSP to generate infinite variations.
In collaboration with Zuyu Chen, Karl Hiner, and Vedant Kalbag
