Student Project: Breanna Lorraine – Building a Live VJ Rig in TouchDesigner

In this project, Breanna Lorraine shares her process of creating a live visual performance setup using TouchDesigner and MIDI input — blending her passion for music and interactive design.

Using her Ableton Push, Breanna controls multiple visual scenes that react in real time to her performance. Each scene showcases different creative effects, including:

ASCII-inspired visual modes

Dynamic color backgrounds

Real-time scene switching through custom Python scripting

Projection-mapped visuals responsive to MIDI triggers

This custom VJ rig demonstrates how TouchDesigner can bridge the gap between sound and visuals, empowering artists to design immersive, performance-ready interactive systems.

🎓 Breanna developed this project as part of the TouchDesigner for Professional Interactive Design Careers course at Music Hackspace, where students learn to design professional-grade systems for installations, performances, and live shows.
