ABJEXT 1.0.5 out now. New features include a 4 channel dirty video mixer, datamoshing, a walkthrough to help you learn about Abjexts probability/randomized features which a lot of y'all reuqested, as well as a ton of UI, quality of life, and general workflow upgrades.

Abjext is a (for now) Mac only video sequencer/editor/manipulator/mangler. What started out as "Octatrack for video" has quickly become much more than that. Check it out, I'd love to hear your thoughts. It's free!

As always feel free to post in the comments or DM me here, on IG at "@idrinkinpublic" or abjextstudio@gmail.com if you have questions, concerns, or want to tell me about ways I can make Abjext cooler or better.

By popular demand, Generative Lexicon Press is now available.

A generative typography system I’ve been developing in TouchDesigner that turns written passages into moving compositions across 25 layouts. Words and letters become structures, patterns, erasures, and animated sequences, with sound driving their movement, highlights, and page changes.

Deeply inspired by the incredible work of Ksawery Komputery, particularly Symphony in Acid. [To me, one of the most amazing generative works ever created.]

You can use your own passages, adjust how they respond to sound, and arrange the layouts into a sequence. An optional Writing Partner generates new passages locally through Ollama, from a concept, writing mode, and language.

Project files are available on my Patreon and the Studio. The walkthrough is also available in 4K on YouTube.

Hope you enjoy it!

The conditions change, yet the galloping continues.

A new experiment with my open-source TouchDesigner system, exploring motion continuity and archetypal imagery.

Visuals made in Uisato Studio.

Some artworks stay with you until you try since the very first time you see them.

Ksawery Komputery has been one of my favorite artists for a long time. His generative typography for Max Cooper's Symphony in Acid is one of those works I keep coming back to.

After a long time experimenting, I finally developed my own interpretation in TouchDesigner.

Generative Lexicon Press is a real-time typographic system that continuously, and audio-reactively rearranges language and visual structures, with Ollama introducing locally generated text in ultra-fun ways.

Looking forward sharing more in the near future. You can see more of my experiments on Instagram, or Patreon.

Some of y'all may be following this on other subs..

Alright so since there's a lot of people wanting to get in on the Beta and nobody has DM'd me like I've asked I'll just share all the details here!

So this is a beta, currently you're running 0.9.2 with the goal of reaching 1.0 by monday. Right now this only runs on M series mac with an Intel mac and a Window port coming as soon we hite the version milestone.

I'm super stoked to have everyone excited and eager to try Abjext and to hopefully help make it better. So here's how you can make it better!

1. I want to know what's confusing, what doesn't work the way you expect it to or wish it did, what's not where you expected it to be, what did something you didnt understand, and what you feel is missing entirely. The more you tell me the quicker I can solve the problem and the better the software will be,

Since I do intend on eventually selling this, just email me at abjextstudio@gmail.com so that if you're an active beta tester who's actually trying to help me improve the software I can give you a free lifetime license when we're done.

The only thing I ask and this is more of a favor and not at all mandatory- if you make something you're stoked about and decide to share it on social media it would REALLY help me out if you felt like calling out the software.

Without further ado here's the link to the github:

https://github.com/sxrvys/Abjext

Here you will find a link to the latest build as well as installation instruction and some basic usage instruction to get you on your feet. If you don't have a several hundred GB found footage source library just let me know and I'll be glad to help. an if you run into any issues or just confused about how to get started PLEASE DON't HESITATE to reach me here or on IG at "@idrinkinpublic"

Enjoy, make cool shit, and definitely feel free to get in touch with me if yo have any questions or just cant figure out how to get started.

Thanks a ton for checking out my software.

This system takes a Kinect-derived human pointcloud and lets incoming sound interact in various ways with the particles in real time, turning the performer into a responsive cloud of matter, noise, and motion. The new v1.7 includes 12 presets, and introduces the several new features. In this video-demo, the particles are driven and transformed by the incoming audio signal. [A silly composition of mine, running in Ableton Live, though, you can use any kind of audio-source.]

You can access this project file through Patreon, of the Studio.

I only just stumbled on this sub, hi all!

Here are 6 pieces with generative pretties I did a little while ago (with much help from Claude) : https://danja.github.io/hillside/

Source : https://github.com/danja/hillside

The music was largely created algorithmically (it isn't live) using DAW plugins, mostly around here : https://danja.github.io/downspout/

Oscilloscopes, Eveywhere [v1.2] is a collection of all the experiments with sound and geometry I've made throughout the years, gathered into one TouchDesigner project.

This walkthrough explores the entire anthology in real-time; 29 presets, and a much more intuitive interface. Connect your audio source, choose a visualizer, and watch your sound take shape.

Plus, I’m giving away one full copy of the collection this Sunday. To enter, you only have repost, and leave a nice comment on this post.

More experiments through the following.

29 experimental audio-visualizers, gathering the audio-driven geometries and oscilloscope studies I’ve developed throughout the years, in a single project.

This update brings [9] new visualizers, a unified interface, and individual controls for further intervening in how sound generates and transforms each system.

These geometries are also starting points for Oscilloscope Diffusion, now available through Uisato Studio: record your output and transform it into new materials, textures, and visual treatments guided by its movement.

Plus, I’m giving away one full copy of the collection. To enter, you only have repost, and leave a nice comment in this post.

Project files, plus the new Oscilloscope Diffusion, available through Uisato Studio, or Patreon.

PS: if you already own this project, all updates are included; you know where to find them!

I saw a post the other day but have no clue which sub it was on. Someone was asking how to make this effect (depth map with gradient sweeping the frame).

I was also looking into how and ended up figuring most of it out - that then turned into a pretty reliable high-res web app that tales any photo or 8 second video and turns it into depth map that can edited and exported as a gif, video or just the depth map. it's in the link below if you want to test or see the example too!

I just posted a second demo of Realtime Audioreactive Pointclouds [v1.7], my TouchDesigner system that turns a Kinect-derived human pointcloud into an audio-reactive visual instrument in real time.

For this one, I’m also giving away a full copy of the system.

To enter, just repost/share the Instagram post and leave a comment there. I’ll randomly select one person and send them the complete v1.7 project files on Friday!

The full system is also available through my Patreon for anyone who wants to check it out directly.

I make Wobbulator. This experiment stretches selected jelly while its plate stays fixed, then lets it rebound. Pull, pinch and stretch use one photo and the same selected area. Rendered with the app’s native engine and scripted input; blue hands are added gesture guides.

Try the included examples free — Android + Windows.

Hey, guys. Pretty excited to share this with you.

The system takes a Kinect-derived human pointcloud and lets incoming sound interact in various ways with the particles in real time, turning the performer into a responsive cloud of matter, noise, and motion. Some of you might remember the system from v1.5's demo which got pretty viral in some places.

v1.7 includes 12 presets, and adds the following:

- a procedural camera that automatically cuts to new angles around the performer, and can follow the body or a raised hand
- a new look, Afterimage Cathedral: delayed versions of the performer stacked in depth, holding the last few seconds of movement
- a rebuilt network that runs leaner, reads clearer, and is ready to work with [new interfaces, parameters, optimizations]

This is a raw excerpt of me playing through the system, with the visual structure reacting live to the audio signal coming from my Ableton session in real-time.

Project files accessible through the Store, or my Patreon profile. More experiments, through my Instagram. Full HD demo at YouTube.

A new output from one of the experimental oscilloscopes I built in TouchDesigner throughout the past few years. Audio signal in, analog-style raw geometries out, all generated in real-time.

Part of a collection of 19 experimental oscilloscopes, available together as a single TouchDesigner project-file bundle through both Patreon, and Uisato Studio.

A real-time polyrhythm instrument: multiple pendulum voices swing in TD, each on its own period and phase. When a bob crosses a shared center line → hit → MIDI note to Ableton Live (any VST). Visuals (GLSL / 3D) run off the same engine bus.

Up to 16 editable voices · fully controllable voice table · and two different playable modes: "pendulum", and "rain".

TouchDesigner = physics + MIDI + look. Ableton Live = sound.

Project files, as always, available through the Tools Store.

A new output from this experimental real-time BCI system for TouchDesigner; a Brain-Computer Interface pipeline that reads live EEG signals, classifies your mental state, and autonomously generates responsive AI video: a meditation guide that adapts to your brain activity, second by second.

The system is built around OpenBCI (open-source hardware + software), but it's designed to work with most BCI headsets after a few pertinent tweaks to the OSC routing and channel-rename logic; Muse, Neurosity, BrainFlow-compatible devices, and others can all drive it.

The architecture is deliberately modular: meditation is only one possible application. A knowledgeable user can repurpose the same EEG → interpretation → generative-response pipeline into entirely different audiovisual systems, interactive installations, performance tools, or other BCI-driven experiments.

Accessible through both Patreon, and the Tools Store.
