@Eramdam hey tell me about yr aspiring VJ thing
@alyx Basically I'm working on/writing a custom software to VJ so I can tour w/ a friend of mine who's an electronic music producer. I should be able to show more later this year!
@alyx Well, let's just say I'm trying to add something more than just videos w/ my solution :p ~teasing teasing~
@Eramdam mysterious. so it IS karaoke related?
(i really like karaoke)
@alyx Oh, absolutely not. See the visual/projection thing at (electronic music) concerts? That's basically that.
@Eramdam aha, thank you for clarifying.
i have exposed my utter lack of knowledge about concerts and live events :) i've been to like 5? one of them was janelle monae at least.
@alyx I guess it's more VJ as visual jockey as "I put visuals and videos to go with the music that the artist is playing at a given time"
@Eramdam human winamp visualizer
@alyx That's a simplification I will allow for now :D
@Eramdam are you familiar with jeff minter's stuff in that area from the '90s
@alyx Never heard of that man. Should I be familiar with his stuff?
@Eramdam it's probably outdated now but he was known for his experimenting in that stuff back then
@alyx Nice. It indeed has some Winamp vibes :p
@Eramdam hehe
the dos shooter tyrian had an awesome (for 1994 or whatnot) sprite-starfield visualizer in its setup.exe, used to love staring at it
@Eramdam oh wow, sounds ambitious
i interpreted VJ as a karaoke host, a video jockey? i learned they were a thing recently!
