In this piece Charle's Buchla synthesizers were directly controlling various video devices, shaping and patterning video feedback images and fading visual elements in and out of the scene. 12-10-92 was created in real time on at the Experimental Television Center during a residency in 1992."

Dancing Calligraphy by The Luminists

Dancing Calligraphy was created at ETC in Jan. 1992, and edited later that year. In this piece we slowly strip away the layers of processing to reveal the source feedback that forms the basic ground from which the imagery arises.

In Dancing Calligraphy, the imagery was created utilizing control voltages from Charles' analog Buchla Synth controlling the Paik Raster Control Unit, the Jones Colorizer, and Jones Sequencer. We also used MidiMice and Buchla's Thunder midi controller to trigger DPaint4. The DPaint4 image cut a key in the video, revealing the many layers of processing that make up the final image."

FLASHER 003 by The Luminists

FLASHER 003 is an ETC studio version of one of our live pieces. The piece offers impressions of a relationship in the process of disintegration. In it Charles triggers still frames of two bodies which are then weaved together (but not quite) through rapid fire live switching and ”editing”. The rhythm is determined through midi coming from Charles’ controller."
