ANALOG VIDEO SYNTHESIS WITH VIOLET

Learn the basics of Video Mixing and Video Synthesis with Violet Cutler. From Sound Museum Collective's workshop at the Rotunda, 11/20/22. Our full performance from the event at the Rotunda has been uploaded here.

Through this tutorial, Violet demonstrates the basics of the Video Mixer and Video Synthesizer. Terms and concepts explored include: CRT TVs, oscillators, keying, luma processor, color processor, video feedback, patching, and analog-digital signal conversion.

This workshop was held as a part of a Sound Museum Collective project titled, "Cathode Ray Tapestries: Memory, Nostalgia and Analog Video Synthesis." Our intention is to broaden access to video synthesizer technology and carve a platform for marginalized communities to explore an expensive and often inaccessible art.
