Live audiovisuals

Vsig is an audiovisual live performance created between 2014 and 2015, built in Max/MSP, Jitter, and Ableton Live. It stands as one of my earliest explorations into the interdependence of sound and image in real time — pushing both senses toward their limits through extreme visual stimuli and aural time-stretching.

The violinist

The work was born out of a collaboration with violinist Novile Maceinaite. Her role sits at the intersection of notation and freedom: she partly performs from a fully written score and partly improvises, introducing a human unpredictability that plays against the precision of the live-coded visuals and processed sound.

Structure

Vsig is divided into five parts that each carry a distinct character while flowing as a single, uninterrupted continuum. The tension between separateness and continuity — discrete sections that nonetheless bleed into one another — mirrors the broader dialogue between the acoustic instrument and the machine.

Concept

Vsig is an important early chapter in my practice, establishing the concerns that would define my later work: the synchronization of audio and visual processes, the use of code as a compositional material, and the live performance context as a space where technology and human interpretation collide.
