This catalytic duo (Julee & Troy) are Audio / Visual event engineers that create Live Interactive Visual Environments in which they project evolving expression through their video compositions and the realtime surrounding spectacles. Psymbolic always aims to provide a customized thematic performance with synchronous moments of meaning and inspiration. Psymbolic's theme orientated visuals are composed of customized video modules, in which they have been personally creating and producing by means of animation, compositing and programming since 99. During a live performance they use customized realtime visual software and hardware to synch video loops, camera inputs and effects to the mood of the momentous music. Traveling with a library of custom created content to choose from on the fly... All of which is categorized by genre / style / theme and programmed to multiple keyboards and midi controllers. From plants swaying during the onset of a brewing storm TO abstract mechanical movement TO transferring the moment via communication process diagrams, subliminal flashing words and lip movements. The macro being; Humanity, Nature, Technology, Imagination... in synch with Sound.
microtakeover was picked to be showcased throughout the month of March 2008 at Lumen Eclipse's video art kiosk in Harvard Square. Lumen Eclipse presents contemporary motion art in public spaces. Using outdoor video displays, social venues and the web, Lumen Eclipse initiates dynamic interactions between artists, sites and audiences. See/Hear microtakeover on Lumen Eclipse.
The Audio/Visual piece entitled microtakeover is an exploration thru the small vastness of life. An expression and indirect communication that intends to let the viewer experience how ever many levels of size and the causation that space defines.
microtakeover was conceptualized then created by means of animation, compositing and programming. The video was then transferred to KiloWatts to design the audio around then sent back to Psymbolic to make final edits. This creation method flipped the usual creative process and in our opinion, ultimately alters the viewing aesthetic. Psymbolic usually approaches creating video to be synched realtime to future audio and KiloWatts usually creates audio as a track to be a part of an album and/or performed live at events.
There is a certain magick that happens to a viewer when they experience video and audio truly in synch... nJoy//
