I just made two new tutorials, one that shows how to enable Syphon in Modul8 and a second one that shows how to send track info (id3 data) as an image from an iTunes visualizer to a Syphon server so that you can display the track info in any Syphon enabled software. I’m using Modul8 and VDMX to display the track info. There is also a little walkthrough how the Quartz Composer visualizer is constructed.

How to send track info from iTunes to Syphon

I started VJing in 2003 after being introduced to the topic by my friend, the digital artist, Marius Watz. “My style can be expressed as intensively colorful compositions with rhythm based animations of images and particles combined with a modest amount of video loops. I try not to continuously fill upp the whole screen with graphics in an attempt to illuminate the feel of a square screen. I work mostly with my own material that occasionally gets mixed up with stuff from the lost and found department. I like programming my own modules for Modul8, my favorite VJ software.”
