Synesthesia (σύν syn + αἴσθησις).
"A very small cause which escapes our
notice determines a considerable effect
that we cannot fail to see, and then we
say that the effect is due to chance."
-- Henri Poincaré, 1908.
Le Biniou
For you...
- As an artist, composer, VJ or just fan, to create live visuals based on your audio performances or existing tracks.
- As a listener, to watch an everlasting and totally unseen creation reacting to the music.
All work on version 4 is off until further notice.
I'll maintain version 3, but feel free to donate for more works on version 4.

(my background)
Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again And again and again and again ...
