Particles 01 (2012) by Damien Borowik

Work done in Processing, using Monome 40h as live performance tool. This is a recording from a live performance where I control various parameters of patterns made by simulated particles. In the memory of the Japanese Tsunami victims, and the belated Jordan Belson who inspired this piece. Soundtrack by Kenji Kawai (川井憲次): Kugutsuuta Aratayo ni Kamutsudo Hite.
