amalgam
About
Amalgam is an audiovisual live coded performance by Saskia Freeke and Timo Hoogland of algorithmic electronic dance music and playful geometry and patterns. The work is the latest iteration in an ongoing research and collaboration between Saskia Freeke and Timo Hoogland where they explore the possible relationships between image and sound. During this piece the visual output is used as input for sonic transformations, displacing rhythm, melody and sonic textures based on color, geometry and patterns.
About the title: In chemistry the element Mercury can form an alloy with another metallic element. This combination of two metals is called an amalgam.
