Broken Alias - Commuter Focus (Album Stream + Visualizer) Gleix 2023-03-03 | Picking up where 'FM in the B4' left off in 2020, 'Commuter Focus' is a return to form exploring melodically driven lofi synthwave, bitpop, and chiptune sounds with a focus on FM synthesis. Tracklisting: 00:00 - Eggshells02:57 - Double Engine Hyperlane06:14 - Imbiber09:31 - Exist 4 Cute 13:01 - Frost Kill15:09 - The RunaroundIn an homage to video game music stylings, 'Commuter Focus' pulls inspiration from a number of disparate genres, but blends them together into a cohesive package by utilizing a similar set of voices.Tracks like 'Eggshells' and 'Exist 4 Cute' pull in classic chiptune-esque sounds and melodies. Meanwhile, tracks like 'Imbiber' pay respects to psychedelic dub, and 'Frost Kill' explores Jazz, Rock, and DnB.Music written during travels and commutes using Caustic 3 for Android. Visuals in TouchDesigner.Composed, Produced, Mixed, Mastered, Album Art, Visualizer by George Gleixner.

These shots are from Stage 2, 'The Landing', which featured a stage design utilizing five LED walls, rounded out to appear as portals. This video shows a few moments from sets by Carl Cox, Dimension, DJ Diesel (Shaq), Loco Dice, and others.

Gleix // Broken Alias Live Set @ STILLSUITE • 7/31/2022 • Brooklyn Chiptune & Synthwave Gleix 2022-08-15 | Brief recap shots from a performance at STILLSUITE, an A/V showcase held at Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn the other week. I was asked to perform as part of the showcase and opted to focus on music this time around, and to give my chiptune focused project Broken Alias some attention, with Erin Wajufos (of Never Knows Better) providing some stellar accompanying visual projections. This 1 hour set was a sort of 'mobile music showcase' for me, utilizing unreleased material from 3 upcoming albums which were written and performed using LSDJ on the Nintendo Gameboy, the Dirtywave M8 portable tracker, and Caustic 3 - a DAW for mobile. I also decided to lug six of my CRT Scopes across town to display the music's waveforms (and, subsequently, think a lot about that exhausting choice).Thanks so much to Erin and Anto who curated the showcase for having me, Erin for the custom live visuals, Dolphinuppercut who shot and cut together this video (during the event!), and all those who had kind words or just stuck around 🕹🎵Be sure to check out all the other talent that was a part of this fantastic live A/V showcase, as well as the host of the event, Millenium Film Workshop in Brooklyn! gleix.netinstagram.com/gleixbrokenalias.cominstagram.com/brokenaliasErin Wajufos: instagram.com/erin_wajufosNever Knows Better: instagram.com/neverknowsbetterAnto: instagram.com/antopoiesisDolphin Uppercut: instagram.com/dolphinuppercutMillennium Film Workshop: millenniumfilm.org
All Day I Dream @ The Brooklyn Mirage • 6/5/2022 • Live TouchDesigner Generative Visuals • Recap Gleix 2022-08-15 | Custom generative visual system performance for All Day I Dream @ The Brooklyn Mirage on 6/5/2022 featuring Lee Burridge, Tim Green, Double Touch & Tommy Raffa.More + photos: http://gleix.net/live-visuals-event-archive-2022-1/2022/6/5/all-day-i-dream-lee-burridge-tim-green-double-touch-tommy-raffaI'm very grateful for the opportunity to have played a part in All Day I Dream at The Brooklyn Mirage for the first time this year, as this is an event that's typically been without a visual accompaniment in the space. For use on this season's new LED wall, a custom controllable generative visual system was built out for the show and performed with over the course of the 10 hour event.It was an exciting challenge to bring such a large new creative element to the show that stayed fairly unassuming and scenic in nature, so as not to detract from what the show is meant to be, while still staying dynamic and evolving throughout the event - especially during the shift from day to night. Some live network editing in TouchDesigner throughout the show helped to keep things exciting, and allowed the backdrop to truly grow and evolve spontaneously as the show went on.*Unfortunately my widest lens just didn't cut it for this one - hence the panning and whatnot. Lesson learned, wider fish-eye lens acquired! I'd recommend checking out the photos in the post linked above.Many thank yous to Billy for the opportunity, the whole ADID team for the trust afforded me while working a new creative element into the show, and those with reassuring kind words post-show. gleix.netinstagram.com/gleix

The fine-grain noise made it look fine without bothering. I don't know why I do these things. Is there an audience for dry long-form touchdesigner 'humor?'

Copacetic 001: DJ Seinfeld (Analog visuals installation / event recap) Gleix 2022-05-25 | Quick recap of the first edition of Copacetic on 5/13 at Avant Gardner. Very grateful to have been part of this; seeing things come together after a couple months working out the visual & analog tech side of things was extremely rewarding. The night featured some intimate, groovy sets by DJ Seinfeld, Black Loops, and Haruka. My role was to help plan & develop the visuals & analog tech, and integrate them into the venue's show-specific installations:• DJ booth backdrop contained 8x modded CRT TVs receiving audio feeds, each displaying real-time waveforms via the internal deflection circuits.

Anxiety Dreams • 5/18/2022 Gleix 2022-05-03 | On 5/18/2022 I'll be self-releasing my album Anxiety Dreams.This is an album I focused on heavily over the course of a few years. I funneled all of myself (and free time) into it, and it's taken a lot of time for me to finally release it, having finished it 3-4 years ago. This ~40 minute gapless album is my largest and most personal work, and I'm still very proud of the material.Part of me thought there would be some perfect scenario & accompaniment for its release, but unrealistic expectations only allowed me to continue delaying it while becoming more detached from the material. Part of me also had trouble building out a bigger release scenario for it after completing the music due to the associations that I have with it.I can't put it off any longer, though. It's a thorn in my side I'm ready to yank out; I'm excited to share it with the world and move forward.This album explores elements of IDM, ambient, breakcore/drill n' bass, classical, and a series of other genres while drifting through a patchwork of melodic atmospheres and excessively detailed rhythm sections. Composed using hardware synthesizers, home built machines, soft synths and a collection of personal recordings, Anxiety Dreams oscillates between emotions - a series of calm moments are punctuated by intense, fast-paced psychedelic dysphoria in an attempt to navigate a sonic landscape which has been primarily informed by hardships and nightmares.To all of those who provided feedback and supported me during its long development, who've heard nearly every iteration, and who know how long this album was in the works - thank you.Two singles from this release, 'Data Will Call' & 'Anhedonics Anonymous' are currently available @ gleix.bandcamp.com & on streaming services. gleix.netinstagram.com/gleix

Once you start to understand how the building blocks work, and learn a few different techniques, you can start to easily break things down into combinations of simple functions.

Gleix - 60Hz (Live AV performance) // NKB x Ars Electronica NYC (Live video modular, Touchdesigner) Gleix 2021-09-23 | Performed live on September 9th, 2021 at Culture Lab LIC in NYC as part of a showcase put together by Never Knows Better at the Ars Electronica Festival Garden.This performance utilizes a fully DIY modular audiovisual synthesizer, a collection of custom controllable systems built in Touchdesigner, and a CRT TV which has been modified into an pseudo-oscilloscope receiving dedicated audio & video feeds to generate colored waveforms.Three 60Hz tones are generated by the AV modular representing the three RGB color channels, panned left, center, and right respectively. These three underlying tones, which the piece is fully built around, have harmonics which shift depending on the shape of the individual color channels in the image, with peaks of amplitude being built for each color's pixels as the image is scanned through on each refresh of the video signal. Additional waveform generators and simple oscillators are injected into the color channels and 'played' in tune with the underlying tones by dialing in exact frequencies, which at multiples of 60Hz, will also form stable scanlines in the receiving color channel. Touchdesigner serves as a collection of controllable systems for handling & manipulating audio, video output from the modular, as a standalone visual system, to introduce generative elements and contained-randomness when triggering external audio elements and visual subsystems, and for general data & MIDI processing. Percussive elements, rhodes, and additional audio processing in FL Studio. gleix.netinstagram.com/gleixBuild info: DIY Modular: gleix.net/modularCRT Scope: gleix.net/crtscope----Check out other performances from the showcase: youtube.com/channel/UCILHhSMpBj2onCoIrq98a5wEvent page: xrensemble.com/ars-electronica-festival-garden-nycThank you NKB & Ars Electronica for the opportunity. instagram.com/neverknowsbetterinstagram.com/arselectronicaThank you Erin Wajufos & Ulisespal for providing additional footagehttps://www.erinwajufos.digital/http://www.ulisespal.com

Sync Eater (Prototype) // Analog video glitch effects processor Gleix 2021-04-09 | The Sync Eater is an analog video effects processor with a focus on glitches and visual experimentation. This abomination of a personal prototype was made using the first round of prototype boards. I'm currently finishing up revisions for the final version which will have a standardized front panel & CV implementation, and will be released for sale sometime soon-ish.Not reinventing the wheel here to be sure. This started as a personal side project, but I ended up really enjoying putting together my own take on this sort of device and it'd grown in scope enough for me to feel comfortable releasing it once I finish it up. gleix.net/synceater-prototype for more info.

Glitch Hornet Video Synthesizer & Visual FX Processor // Model No. GVS008 // Gleix Devices Gleix 2021-02-05 | This device is model no. GVS008 and is the first in the series to feature an external video input, and custom CNC’d front & rear panels. This machine is similar to The I.F.D. in terms of feature set, minus CV implementation and + the video input. The input allows this model not only to function as an audiovisual synthesizer and internal feedback generator, but as a loopback for use with video mixers, and as a standalone glitchy video FX processor similar to the VGS35 & GVM002.

Custom CNCd frontpanel // 3018 Gleix 2021-01-10 | In the never ending quest to learn new things and increase my home manufacturing capabilities I picked up a little desktop CNC. I've spent the past few weeks learning my way around G-code, breaking end mills, troubleshooting weird quirks and cursing at the thing, but I finally reached my first goalpost: a custom engraved aluminum front panel. Tons of ideas in my head & looking forward to experimenting with this thing further. This one will be on the next video synthesizer.To be more specific here, it's a 3018 ProVer which is made by Sainsmart which, yes, can engrave aluminum with some effort. And this wasn't soft aluminum either. Just took a bit of effort and patience in testing different bits, speeds & feeds to get the desired result. This one was done by painting & clear-coating the panel and then engraving the paint away. A manual height map was made as well. I had done an automatic probed height map before painting it, but the panel warped during the process of getting the component holes drilled out.I might consider making a step-by-step video on how I got to this point in the future for anybody curious about doing their own front panels at home - I think this machine is fairly capable for this sort of thing.gleix.netinstagram.com/gleix

Winter Freeze Feedback-centric video synthesizer // Model No. GVS007 // Gleix Devices Gleix 2020-12-22 | This device is model no. GVS007 and is a continuation in this series of feedback-centric video synthesizers. This video doesn't go in depth since the functionality is similar to previous machines, but outlines a couple unique features.The enclosure was customized based on client requests in dark green with white splatters. Sort of a minty vibe. The name “Winter Freeze” comes from the enclosure theme, and also the feature which this is the first to utilize - image freezing. This device also refines the "alternate pixel mode" mod from previous versions. 0:00 - Intro0:40 - Freeze & glitch functions1:40 - Alternate pixel mode2:28 - Brief experimentation in alternate pixel mode3:49 - Brief experimentation in regular mode with glitches & thresholding4:33 - Freeze functionality differences between Composite and VGA5:38 - Side tracked, what were we talking about? 6:06 - Basic functions6:50 - Wrap up, what's up nextDevice Page: gleix.net/gvs007Other video synths: The I.F.D.
