Tenorless:  Gorgeous Flowing Motion

Note:  The artwork above is edited gif clips of the work of Tenorless. To see the full length and full motion video with sound, visit the Instagram page of Tenorless.

Tenorless recently graduated in New Media from University of North Carolina at Asheville and has become a passionate advocate of the software Touchdesigner, which is a ‘node based visual programming language for real time interactive multimedia content’ that has captured the imagination of many artists due to its ability to create real time moving images like the clips you see above.  It is used by EDM artists such as DeadMau5 for their live shows.  Tenorless is an artist with a fertile and wide ranging imagination, and with a tool like Touchdesigner in his hands he is able to create beautifully flowing textures and imagery. Seeing such imagery on giant screens backed by EDM music must be quite an experience.

"CORAZON Y MENTE EN EL MOMENTO PRESENTE"

As we grow into our childdhood days, we dream of greatness, of extraordinary lives; then the pain, an awful burn of realizing most of our days will be nothing more than ordinary, that our names will die with those who kept us shortly in their memories. That our lives will leave no trace.We're condenmmned to insignificance and oblivion.

And in that inmanence, finding comfort in the joy of the daily moments, sleeping in the arms of the loved one; having a walk in the park, late when no one's out, perceiving the smells of the almost fresh air of the city, the cold and the drops lying on the grass; having the company and the peaceful silence of your dog; giving your parents a goodnight kiss; laughing at nights with your sister. Those little moments re the ones that give meaning to these mundane days.

What a joy this is! To know with certainty that death is inevitable and unpredictable and yet not having fear, because life as ordinary as it is, it's just simply wonderful, only if we acknowledge that present is the only thing that truly exist, the rest just simply escapes our perception and control. Heart and mind in the present time.

You have to have a temperamental attraction to dangerous ideas.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

Walt Whitman (via wordsnquotes)
