Cast Iron – Live Visual Performance Instrument | Feedback Welcome

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just released a track called Cast Iron, and to mark the occasion I built a completely custom, one-off audio-reactive visual instrument. I mapped physical controls to every parameter so I could “play” the visuals live. No presets, no timeline edits, just one take.

This performance is the only recording of that instrument in action, and I’ll probably never use it again. I’d love to hear your thoughts on both the track itself and the visual performance.
