“Qualio” is an another exploration of synchronised audio-visual dynamics, where stark black-and-white imagery interacts with an original electronic composition. Inspired by early visual music pioneers like Norman McLaren and Len Lye, the animation utilises lines, dots, and rhythmic distortions that respond to the soundscape. The visual language is deliberately minimal, using sharp contrasts to enhance the rhythm and emotional cadence of the music. As the sound evolves from percussive clangs to layered melodic textures, the visuals mirror this progression, shifting from smooth lines to more complex patterns. Through the interplay of these elements, “Qualio” offers a meditative dynamic sensory experience that invites viewers to engage with the intersection of sound and sight, creating a fusion of the two mediums.

Sonic Adventures 001
Welcome to the first blog post from my ever expanding collection of sonic experiments, where I combine field recordings, synths and effects recorded and mixed in Ableton. This example is an experiment using a midi effects chain to create a generative lead using the Arturia MicroFreak. The synth results are unedited to show the breath of what was generated with some interesting midi phrases created, lashings of reverb was added to create the dreamscape like effect and melt the lead into the background. There are two field recordings running above and below the synth. One is a field recording made while sitting in a coffee shop on George’s St, Dublin during spring. The second is a recording using the Lom Geofón on a ferry coming back to Ireland from France, it was connected with the magnet attachment to the metal deck, picking up the engine resonating through the ship.
