Practicing baking particles and force fields to music sound waves. Also testing out the new Eevee render engine in Blender. It’s really fast. I did this in 2K in lightning speed.

Microbubbles
This short test animates a track by Klimek called “For Steven Spielberg & Azza El-Hassan”
The ‘negative’ space or silences in this piece are really fun to animate, i think the minimal white fits the music. Soon i will get in contact with a few musicians to do a collaborative project or two. If any musicians/labels are interested do get in contact.

Black Cloud
This is my latest animation using a tune called Black Cloud by Yuka. Its short but took along time to render using the networked Blender render farm: sheepit-renderfarm.com which helped a lot.
I’m having no end of fun visualising electronic music in a synesthesia imagined style.
The track is available here:

Colourwave – Sound visualisation
A short sound triggered test animation in Blender I created over the Xmas holidays using a Clams Casino tune called ‘Say Your Prayers’ from his free download Instrumentals 4 mixtape. Adding some Synesthesia visualisation styles to a Clams Casino tune worked out really well.

Wandering
This is a quick animated loop in Blender to learn ‘Bake to Fcurve’ taking the sound to create scale and movement in the animated objects. Music by Sabre called A Wandering Journal.
New floating animation test
Big square render this time adding some extra water textures. It works well in 4k full screen. I am still playing around with it in photoshop trying to get in functioning as a potential screenprinted edition.
Floating
Created and rendered this over a period of three days. I will continue to develop this female figure floating in water into a screen printing project in the next few weeks. Maybe using a Gold printed background for the water.

Poly face
Playing around with low polygon animation. Decimating the head down until it just has a minimal number of faces. Then increasing the poly count in an animated sequence.
Test skull animation.
Wire animation i did as a test to see how i could create an animation in a few days on a low resolution. Really pleased with the result, i’m learning quite quickly when i have the time. I hope that you can see that it is a skull made up of lines with a very tight depth of focus.
Abstract work
New Geometric and abstract tests
Trying out a few new minimal images using Blender to create geometric shapes and moody image
These were created using image textures wrapped around spheres, rendering them then adding geometric spirals and shell like shape into them in Photoshop. Also i played around with very tight depth of focus on some of them to add extra space and colour tonal changes. Mixing painted texture layers with geometric shapes is something i will continue with. In the future i think i will add an abstract page into my site.
