Description
magic eye is a Max for Live audio effect device for video-controlled granular synthesis. The brightness of the selected pixel in the 256x256 viewfinder controls where the next audio grain comes from: darker pixels create grains from earlier in the source audio file, and brighter pixels create grains from later.
As an audiovisual device, magic eye creates a tacit feedback loop between the user, the video, and the sound. The image reveals pathways for sonic improvisation which can be paused, reversed, and modulated in myriad ways.
