RjDj Echelon + Korg DS-10 + Apple Motion from Ian Page-Echols on Vimeo.

This is a weird little conglom made using various pieces of software. The main audio was created on the fly using the Korg DS-10 software for the Nintendo DS. This was transmogrified using the RjDj app for the iPhone and the Echelon patch. A small amount of leveling was done on the file in Sound Studio, a simple audio program on Mac OS X. The resulting audio file was dropped into Apple’s Motion program.

The video clips are all of my creation, I use some of these files when I am doing live visuals. I tend to use Motion sort of similarly to the way I do visuals. I blend multiple layers of video and fade clips in and out while trying to have the video go with the audio. I can’t work fully live in Motion (at least with the machine I have it running on), but since it can loop segments or the whole project, I get a pretty good idea of what the end result will feel like.

This is footage taken from high in the air (over 50′ up) down at people passing below. The audio is taken from a strange interview with a guy in a rooster costume. It was then processed with RjDj‘s Echelon on the iPhone. This was at the Burning Man festival in 2005.
