I created an application with Processing that links music and images.
The program analyses the sound (in this case the volume of the track) and interacts with it: here the volume of the different sounds is translated into the size of the images.

The images are fragments of something that I painted before, and appear randomly along the screen. So every time you run the program, you will see a different painting.  This video is just one of the infinite variations of “interactive paintings” that can be created with this program.
Although information from the world enters our heads via different sensory organs – the eyes and ears in this instance – once they are in the brain they are intimately connected with each other. Impressively, they are connected in non-random ways, so that some combinations of sound and vision go together better than others.

Like Kandinsky, I want my paintings to be ‘heard’. Where the visual art is more like music, more abstract.The title “Entartete Kunst” is the term adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany to describe all modern art. While modern styles of art were prohibited, the Nazis promoted paintings and sculptures that were traditional in manner and that exalted the "blood and soil" values of racial purity, militarism, and obedience.

.......stand-out performer was the ubiqutious Kosmic Troubadour, a tall psychedelic one-man show behind a retina-damaging painted keyboard. His sound? Imagine if The Beatles soldiered on with their 'Magical Mystery Tour' ethos into the next decade joining forces with Marc 'n' Elton time-treking towards a head-on project with Julian Cope circa 1984.

The Kosmic Troubadour is a psychedelic-rainbow-coloured, keyboard player, singing songs with passion and compassion about Life, Love, The Universe and everything in-between! ....... Let the music touch your soul and have some FUN !
