Hi everyone -
some of you'll have heard that the XBox360 (Microsoft's next games console)
would be shipping with an interactive visualiser. What that *means* is a
performance-oriented, multi (four-)user lightsynth which can also operate in
beat-tracking mode.
It's really, really jaw-droppingly pretty. I'm expecting to run into a
few of these in clubs once it's out.
(It was written by Jeff Minter and Ivan Zorzin at Llamasoft. If there
are any old 8-bit/ST/Amiga heads lurking on the list, those names
should mean something :) )
There are a couple of demo videos floating around (quicktime format,
and over 100MB each, so not very dialup-friendly!).
Music for the demos was provided by Redpoint and Covert of Hidden
Music -
http://www.hiddenmusic.co.uk/ (for full disclosure, I should
admit that I'm involved with the label).
Redpoint - "Tundra" (actually, only the first half of the track...)
(from "Protect and Survive")
http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/media/neon/movies/neontundrabig.mov
Covert - "Rainsong" (from "Unseen Rulers")

cheers,
Andrew
