Le Oui.

At first i felt strange turning my collected images into a music blog, but after watching the first in a Splices documentary series, featuring Richie Hawtin, I realized the projected visualizations i naturally follow while listening to music can be used to my advantage. I paint best to rhythmic, progressive music anyways, so of course the reverse can absolutely influence production.

 

Schlieren (from German; singular "Schliere", meaning "streak") are optical inhomogeneities in transparent material not visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses void of these inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length that cause light deviation. This light deviation is converted to shadow in a schlieren system.

adaptability includes photography.

or in a more literal format the

                                   Shadowgraph: 

                                                    an optical method that reveals non-uniformities in transparent media like air, water, or glass. It is related to, but simpler than, the schlieren and schlieren photography methods that perform a similar function. Shadowgraph is a type of flow visualisation.

In principle, we cannot directly see a difference in temperature, a different gas, or a shock wave in the transparent air. However, all these disturbances refract light rays, so they can cast shadows. The plume of hot air rising from a fire, for example, can be seen by way of its shadow cast upon a nearby surface by the uniform sunlight.

This is adept to rockets visibly breaking the sound barrier.
