For INPUT, we developed a distinctive
audio-visual format that is based on the video clip. Here, the
visual interpretation of the music is first of all an optical
outline. The various pieces of music required different
sequences of images and visual actions and are based on
rollovers. Depending on the composition, different parameters
of content and form come to the fore. Music and interactive
animation are synchronised.
You Might Just Need A Change Again, 03:10
min (cut-out 00:15 min)
Roselove made an
instrumental version of his piece “You Might Just Need a
Change Again” for the second webclip. The piece flows
quietly along and associations with road movies emerge. For
that reason we developed the idea of a trip. Thus at the
beginning the driver, who wants to leave everything behind him,
starts the motor cycle. However, he encounters new impressions
which he, and with him also the cursor, can take in or leave.
Each time he must decide quickly, because the individual
impressions change color from blue to red. They cannot be
activated anymore after they have turned red and they fly past.
Every piece that has been activated stays in the windows and
slowly a figure forms that at the end is himself again. He
arrives at different places, depending on the progress of the
trip. The piece "plays" with a behavioural pattern
that emerges as soon as the opportunity to interact is
identified: everything that can be activated will be activated.
