Crash Server - Tides (jam session)

Found this cool file while sorting my hard drive. We recorded the audio first—totally improvised and it turned out pretty nice! I later added visuals using a new patch I was testing, making them react to the audio frequencies.

The whole thing has this soothing quality I wasn't expecting. No fancy pre-planning, just jamming and seeing what happened. I didn't display code on purpose, it's a focus on the pleasure we have jamming !

There's this nice interplay between us throughout the jam—a certain understanding that just clicked. You can hear it in those little moments of give and take, how the sounds find each other without forcing anything, a few hicups of course, but hey that's that struggle between experimenting for a jam session and advocating for a clean recording :)

Later, actually, a few weeks later, I had fun making the visuals dance with the sounds we created. The generative elements gradually blend with video content as the piece progresses, eventually dissolving into this glitchy crash server aesthetic, over the top of course by the end—like watching a system beautifully fall apart.

Throw this on, chill out, and enjoy TIDES. It's a nice little snapshot of a moment we love, coding and jamming.
