Was good, but this makes VLM-3 look like Psychedelia.
The most beautiful thing I have ever made, by a very long way. It is a true light synthesiser, and easily Even I am continually amazed at what it is possible finally realizes my design of a modular lightsynth on top of that awesomeĬomputational power, and inheriting the multi-user controllability from VLM-3, and It was quite a coup for Microsoft to get Minter to write the visualization software embedded in every Xbox 360: The VLM-1 was just the latest in this llama-obsessed developer's series of software experiments with audio visualization, going When we were out there finishing off the code, and finding Leonard Tramiel playingĬlassical music through it and dancing ecstatically around my cube. Were very pleasing - I have vivid memories of going into the office in Sunnyvale The graphical stuff and Ian writing the code to sample the audio stream and generateĪ frequency spectrum analysis which I then used to drive the visuals. It took about six months to make, with me doing all I was in particularly good favour at Atari, since "TempestĢ000" had been released to a degree of critical approval, and we got the green light Of building a VLM implementation into the CD-ROM's firmware, to be invoked whenever Ian Bennett, one of the Inmos guys, flew out to Sunnyvale to pitch them the idea Jeff Minter's VLM-1 (Visual Light Machine)Ītari developing a CD-ROM add-on for the Jaguar, and me and The first experience I had with visualization was the 1993ĬD-ROM add-on for Atari's short-lived Jaguar console.
And as a longtime computer enthusiast, I've always been intrigued by the intersection of computers and music: audio visualization.
