Analogue Video Synthesis and Processing Works: A quick exploration by Konx-On-Pax
Boxcutter – The Dissolve (Planet Mu)

Matthewdavid – Outmind (Brainfeeder)

We noticed when we looked at a couple of recent releases on the Bleep homepage today that a lot of sleeve artwork was paying homage to the beautiful (and sorely missed) aesthetics of video synthesis and processing (see above).
With this in mind, we asked our good friend / artist extraordinaire Konx-om-Pax (aka Tom Scholefield) to pick out some examples of work, and the equipment used to create these techniques… Here’s what he gave us.

SCAN PROCESSOR STUDIES are a collection of works by Woody Vasulka & Brian O’Reilly.

I just love those old analog video processors. You might be interested in this video I did for Born Ruffians, thanks to some reprogramming of an old oscilloscope by computer programmer/artist Rob Bairos:
