Live Painting Modular Synth | TouchDesigner x MakeNoise

“Painting Tracks Live: A Dynamic Experiment in Visual and Sonic Composition”
This piece represents the exciting intersection of visual art and modular synthesis, where generative technology becomes the brush and sound the canvas. Using TouchDesigner to control a Make Noise Music case, this first experiment is a bold exploration of visually ‘writing’ music in real time.

Through this performance, the artist invites us to consider the boundaries between traditional composition and emergent creative tools. Each note, triggered by the modular synthesizer, corresponds to a carefully crafted visual cue, painting an evocative landscape synchronizing with the sound. The result is a vivid dialogue between the auditory and visual realms—a true multimedia symphony.

This inaugural attempt to “paint tracks live” is not merely a technical showcase but an emotional and conceptual journey. It reflects the artist’s exploration of new modes of storytelling, where technology empowers expression, blurring the lines between listening and seeing. We are left to ponder: Can a visual gesture carry the same weight as a musical note? In this work, they are inextricably linked, asking us to feel the music not just in our ears but in our eyes.
