Visual Music, Hidden Performer: Motion Design, Music, and Performance
Abstract: Motion design in a live performance context is situated at a cross-section of software, hardware, collaborative opportunities, and variable methods for making. A “live” component requires malleable parameters and variable outcomes, factors not native within traditional graphic and motion design skillsets. Parallels can be drawn between live electronic music production—modularity, repetition, and effects-layering—and live motion design production. Examples for adopting and combining creative processes, particularly within a live performance setting, are discussed and contextualized.
