As previously mentioned, I experimented with bokeh for the visuals at the last Sound Noir party.

We’re working on our next event, and at one of our last meetings, Jacob suggested I just do more of what I’d done last time around. This has come up before, and my feeling is that one wouldn’t enjoy, and would likely loose respect for, a DJ who always played the same set every night. Why then would a person be satisfied with a simple rehash of the visuals from a prior party?

At the same time, because the last party ended prematurely, and because significantly fewer people were able to see the installation, I’m thinking there’s still room to incorporate some of those preexisting ideas.

What I don’t want to do, is to simply duplicate what we’ve already seen.

For research on a particular project at CScout, I found the two images in this post. In particular, the one to the left made me realize the same theme still has room to grow.

I’ve been collecting lots of different types of material for the next party. In addition to the static slides, there are a bunch of animations I’m building and turning into video loops that’ll be mixed with one another, but I think, yes, bokeh could hold its own next to these other elements.

Watch this space to see how the visuals are progressing. With some of the tools new to me, this will be as much an exploration for me as for you. However, I intend on this documentation to be as esthetically pleasing as (I hope) the final result.
