Synopsis: Chasing Waves is visual music composed in real-time using voltage controlled video synthesis. The title refers to the pursuit of those sonorous audible frequencies which form the most interesting patterns, creating a harmonious balance between sound and vision. A metaphoric search for a place of tranquillity free from the extraneous noise of contemporary life. Like watching an electronic version of the patterns created by waves lapping along a sea shore. Constantly changing but always the same. This is a processed and edited version of a real-time improvisation recorded in the Experimental Television Centre NY 2009, using 80’s analog technology.

Ocusonic aka Paul O Donoghue Is an Irish composer/ audio visual artist based in Dublin. He has released music under a number of pseudonyms for a variety of labels including Six Degrees San Fran and Plant NY, and his audio visual work has been screened internationally at numerous festivals. His current output is entirely audio visual and explores a disparate collection of methods and techniques for the creation of visual music. Underpinning all of these disciplines is Ocusonics, the real-time generation of synchronous audio and visual material.
