Kamino is a narrative arc following a technological abiogenesis journey. With a from-scratch approach to audio using hardware modular-synth, 303, and guitar pedals with python live-coding real-time computer graphics in Touch Designer. Kamino is a spontaneous origin of life.
The graphics are influenced by the performer’s shift from GLSL fragment shader techniques and video clip texture manipulations into three-dimensional space and particle system dynamics. This latest exploration with Kamino delves into ray-marching for density-based, volumetric rendering rather than ray-arching for signed distance field, hard-surfaces.
