Seeing Sound: VJs Create Music Videos in 3D

There are cosmic blue 3D stars that explode, neon-bright planets that implode, and pulsating patterns that can hypnotize you, and that’s just in the first minute of the new VJ Sound Brew video for “Squealorama,” a track from my SONIC TONIC album.

 

“Welcome to the world’s newest art form,” says John Brewington, who performs as VJ Sound Brew. “We haves https://www.michaeljemery.com/ https://cahalenandeli.com/ live integration of computer created designs and the audio from a song. It means spontaneous creativity,” he continued. “One of the newest examples is in the music video for ‘Squealorama’.”

Other artists are turning to VJs to augment their live or recorded performances, including pop group *NSYNC, progressive rockers Yes, and trance artist John Laraio, known as Mobius 8.

 

The real-time graphics capability of Zuma enables Mobius 8 to render audio as visual motion, utilizing 3D imagery, video and lasers.
