Experimental video poetry & glitch art. Visual poetry in lieu of written poetry. Relieving tension through chaotic video art therapy and construction.

Somewhere in there is a sense of quiet.

My art is created in the UNCONSTRUCTED laboratory using glitch video hardware, VHS tape found footage, CRT rescanning, and laborious clip syncing in post. No filters or Al used anywhere in my process.

Ask me anything about my gear or process, happy to help.

May You Find Your Quiet,

Love To All,

Unconstructed

I was making a beat at the same time my gf asked for some glitch samples to make promo for a show she was helping putting on. The track/visuals went together I thought, so made them into a full video. Video samples were glitched with bpmc premium cable through CRT, with handcam capturing the screen and feedbacking into videonics mx1. Extra layering done with the V4. Tried something new this time. Took a static textures blue background and used an AI plugin to turn it into a rippling video, with a ethereal audio pad in the background. Made this the top layer in davinci resolve and faded in the audio from this clip subtly with the rest of the track. Pretty happy with how it turned out! Lmk what you think :)

I took part in the Week Of Patching and wrote about my process of trying to create a video synth and Cardinal (vcv rack) patch

I have deliberated letting go of my Psychenizer for a while, as unfortunately, I do not use it enough and wish for it to have a better home.  I am currently moving studio and decided now is the time. Based in the UK, selling with a Bronson++ compact toroidal step-up and step-down voltage converter which allows Tachyons+ to be used safely in the UK or Europe, I have a UK plug for the device, but a kettle lead with an EU plug would work fine too. The machine works natively in the US, so a step-down converter is not required, and I can remove it from the listing for a US customer. Please message if you have any questions or would like a link to the eBay listing for photos of the device and examples of works I have made with it. These are now very rare, special tools, so I hope somebody in this community will benefit from my posting here. Thanks!

Did you know this? 🤯

Edirol v4, Sony color corrector, Panasonic WJMX10, and Hither Dither, bent by Somfay

Made in Ableton with Videosync. Video elements pulled from public domain sources. I’m addicted to combing the Prelinger Archives for this stuff.

I'm hoping to make my mix videos more visually interesting to watch whilst listening, so I have now incorporated a beat synchronised visualizer. If you are interested then please take a view and a listen.

Artists and tracks used in this set:

Shacom Delia - Groovie Moovie

Futurum Sonat - Doors Of Perception

Futurum Sonat - eArth

Futurum Sonat - Mind Modulation

Xprompt - Hypnotic Bridge

Xprompt - Silent Prophecy

I hope you enjoy.

The journey was long and difficult, but progresses are there!

I am really happy of the stability of those intense glitches, made by my new circuit bend Hama processor.

The chain :
Modified AV Processor 144 --> LSD+ from CircuitBentTV --> DVM-1000 --> ForA TBC --> color processing in resolume

I had the LSD+ from CircuitbentTV in a drawer for a while and didn't really figure out its potential, but it's now a must in my setup!

Track : Noboot - Free gum pack

Need some work on control and timing id still off

I adjusted the color for the very first video experiment. A crazy fractal Kaleidoscope visual.

The first 3 minutes are completely improvised as I was seeing it for the first time and trying to maintain the phone steady. I had a little more practice to choreograph the remainder.

Thank you

N-joY yUR evening !

I just got a Roland VR5 video mixer. It seems to be a balance of analog inputs and digital file / usb interfacing. Just getting started in this stuff. Any tips or tricks i should try first?

Loop Pack Available on Patreon

Textura Obscura is a collection of blue-toned texture and abstraction visuals that blend analog video processing, mixed-media animation, and digital effects into a layered, multimedia aesthetic.

The pack was built from a variety of source material, including visuals created in NestDrop, Resolume, and other abstract animations. These were then routed through a feedback-heavy analog signal chain consisting of two Roland Edirol V4 video mixers, a BPMC Premium Cable, a Mezkalin Video Master, camera feedback, and multiple layers of internal video feedback. As the signal passed through the system, each stage introduced new textures, distortions, and motion, creating a library of unique analog source footage.

Once the analog visuals were captured, I brought everything into After Effects, where I applied a mixed-media treatment inspired by DreadLabs' mixed-media animation tutorial and project files. Paper textures, film grain, threshold and ink bleed effects, and subtle imperfections were layered in to give the visuals a tactile, printed quality.

As a final step, the clips were processed through PhotoMosh Pro using a custom patch I built for this project. This introduced additional strobe behaviors, posterization, subtle 8-bit pixelation, glow and luminance-reactive effects, along with digital glitching and decimation to further evolve the imagery while preserving the analog foundation.
The result is a collection of texture-driven abstract loops that sit somewhere between analog video art, mixed-media collage, and digital glitch processing. The combination of these workflows creates visuals that feel tactile, layered, and continuously evolving.

Suggested uses:
-Layer with other visuals to add texture and depth
-Use as standalone abstract visuals
-Layer them together to create more dynamic visuals collages
