Blue Movement

An optisonic exploration of a world of primordial shapes and colours created through various chemical treatments of a Super 8 emulsion. The sonic counterpart was made using a generative patch on an analogue synth, with voltage inputs from light sensors on the projection screen - the film itself steering the dynamics of sound synthesis.
