Time-lapse video / optical synth control experiment.

While getting familiar with the d5100’s time-lapse & video capabilities, the idea of video controlled synthesis came to mind. I unsuccessfully scanned the net looking for a something to generate midi from video. While staring off into space a psychical solution was staring back at me. My Thingamagoop 2. I ended up using it’s photocell eye to pick up the changes of light from my video experiments.
Laid down some drum noodling & patched the CV output from the Thingamagoop into the pitch input of a Moog Voyager. I recorded one Bass & one Lead pass & called it a day. “Controlled Chaos”
