SHOWCASES
Sound to Vision (SToV) is being used more and more for artistic exhibits and live performances. Here are some examples of SToV being used out in the community
The 30-Day SoundToVision Challenge
Over 30 days I released a new short every day on YouTube (@odlogo), each one exploring a different way sound can become vision — from recreating iconic music videos to live gesture control, MIDI-driven graphics, and hidden art in the London Underground.
The grand finale — a DUNE-inspired visualiser paired with an original, self-composed track. Proof that simplicity can be the most powerful choice.
The left and right channels of a historic 1930s stereo demonstration track, mapped into visuals so you can see the stereo movement as well as hear it.
A triangle mask animated over a photo shows how layered masks build intricate, moving "windows" into footage.
Graphical elements and filters synced directly to the beat for an immersive take on Four Tet's sound and texture.
An experimental interface: computer vision detects a pinch gesture, converts it to MIDI, and drives a synchronized visual effect.
A visit to the Barbican's "Feel the Sound" exhibition — an experience on a different frequency — documented and blended into an audiovisual story.
Keyframe animation and filtering combined to create audio-reactive visuals that move in sync with a track by NOAMEX.
Rough Trade's Top 10 Bowie albums reimagined — sleeves brought to life with filters, motion and audio-reactive effects.
A popular return: two table tennis players re-processed with Sound-to-Vision Pro so every hit of the ball locks perfectly to the beat.
A story-driven look at a Crux AudioVisual night in North London, crafted and narrated entirely using SoundtoVision.
Reinterpreting The White Stripes' iconic minimalist video — and analysing what makes its visual language so enduring.
Childhood console games synced to Fatboy Slim's "Love Island" for a pixelated, big-beat nostalgia trip.
A daily doodle transformed into a living, beat-synced animation — proof a quick sketch can become a full audiovisual piece.
The design history behind Peter Saville's iconic floppy-disk sleeve — a masterpiece that famously cost more to produce than the single sold for.
A playful fake "glitch" — an impossible 8×1 Tetris block sends the whole game up in spectacular fashion.
A tribute to the 2009 audiovisual performance "Procrastinatus", recreated to show how simple graphics can be triggered and shaped live.
A visual tour of Muswell Hill, each transition synced to the rhythm of "Crescendo" by Sebastian.
A tour of the filters available inside SoundToVision, from colour shifts to motion effects, applied to images and video.
A retro 80s soap-opera mashup: House of the Dragon reimagined with the iconic Dallas title sequence.
A custom MIDI track drives a different graphic element per instrument, for a fully audio-reactive performance.
A hand-drawn animation brought to life by mapping rhythm and melody directly to visual motion.
Rhythm and motion blended into a living visual, synced to music by NOAMEX.
Rebuilding key moments from the Bee Gees' 1987 classic — machines, people and optical effects synced to the beat.
A tribute to Eric Prydz's recent live performance of "Call on Me", 20 years on from the original.
Sacred chants meet modern motion, with video layers tightly synced to the rhythm of the Audio Junkies & Sahar Z remix.
Inspired by Eno & Chilvers' generative app Bloom — each MIDI note triggers graphics in real time.
A visit to photo and video artist Gabriel Moses's exhibition on the Strand, cut into a short story video set to a beat.
Inspired by "Moon (and it went like)" by Kid Francescoli — basic shapes made to feel like a moving landscape.
A beat-synced look at the art scattered across the London Underground, hiding in plain sight.
Kicking off the 30-Day SoundToVision Challenge: a new short every day exploring what's possible when sound becomes vision.
Crux
Crux is an audiovisual performing arts initiative, organising audiovisual events, jam sessions and workshops across the UK and in London.
Crux Festival of Audiovisual Performing Arts was a weekend-long event featuring audio-visual performances, jams and workshops. The diverse programme featured an array of audiovisual performances each day from emerging as well as more established artists. During the day there were talks, participatory workshops and opportunities to get involved with the open-mic-style electronic-music performance slots or Sunday jam session. Atomise and Odlogo used SToV to develop an audiovisual presentation for the AR showcase.
Fortitude
Atomise represents the produce of a dynamic 10-year collaboration between Ryan Honaker and Janek Hendrich. These multi-instrumentalists have joined forces on numerous projects, including bands, live performances, gallery exhibitions, arts compositions, and short films. Their versatile repertoire spans a broad spectrum of styles, from guitar-based songwriting to experimental improvisation. The duo excels in crafting layered soundscapes, which can be dense or delicate, comforting or disquieting. Their sonic palette includes everything from field recordings and synthesized sounds to analog instruments, showcasing their adeptness at creating immersive auditory experiences.
"Fortitude" is an experimental multimedia work by Atomise and other artists consisting of visual elements with an accompanying score and narrated text. The text is a short story that investigates the interplay between mortality and societal control and manipulation by those in power and its ethics.Through a speculative fiction narrative it attempts to intertwine reflections on time and existence that critiques social and surveillance mechanisms of societal control.
Contemporary Art Space Batumi
The Contemporary Art Space Batumi(CAS Batumi) is a vibrant cultural hub located in the coastal city of Batumi, Georgia. Founded in 2014 by a group of young artists and curators, CAS Batumi aims to support innovative ideas and contemporary art projects both locally and internationally. The space is dedicated to fostering cooperation and exchange within the art community and has hosted a variety of exhibitions, seminars, festivals, discussions, and screenings over the years.

Live Performance and Showcase
Atomise created a showcase with the following theme: As we all watched the world spiral into a global pandemic, our creative and social outlets diminished, and a new reality began to permeate our collective mindset, influencing art and culture in unexpected ways. This influence grew as we adapted to working from home, finding new methods to connect and collaborate. The mounting infections and deaths were devastating, followed by a sense of stunned gratitude at the unprecedented triumph of science with the development of vaccines, only to be crushed again by their tragically inequitable distribution and subsequent rejection by some. Throughout this time, we were profoundly isolated, struggling to connect, process, and find distraction.
