Granular is a 3D experimental short film exploring the visual dynamic of granular synthesis, developed around the theme of ‘Make it Grain’ for Mesh’s Monthly Challenge. Comprised of an overwhelming number of grains, they collectively form a strong sense of structure, experiencing the same trajectory from different spatial and aural positions – ultimately resolving at the intersection between granular form and the controlling interface.
Taking inspiration from traditional synthesisers and audio interfaces, the AG-3 is a re-imagined granular synth. Ignoring many of the deeper controls associated with synthesis, these are replaced with visual systems that reflect the incoming grains – converting them into a cohesive optic display that bridges the aural elements to dedicated visuals.
