Hi everybody!
I’m Matt and I’ve been lurking here for about half a year now. I’m a big free and open source software advocate, so naturally I’m loving the community built around VCV Rack.
I’m an audio-visual artist, developer and researcher - and have gravitated towards using Rack as a way to incorporate sound design and analysis into my main focus which is building tools for the visualisation of music.
I’m particularly interested in mixed reality tech… placing virtual elements into the real world in musical performance contexts… Here is an example of one of my collaborations with a colleague of mine (Alon Ilsar) to give you an idea of what I mean:
I’ve been using VCV Rack as an interface to create graphics with custom modules that allow me to control the Unity game engine. I actually presented the system as a demo at this year’s NIME conference… here is the demo video for those interested! (just ignore the part about it being available online lol)
I want to release these graphics-oriented modules soon for others to use - sometime over the next month or so - and share my system for integrating VCV Rack and Unity. I thought I’d introduce myself before I do so!
So, hello guys and gals! I’m very glad this community exists!
