VC | EP19 - Psybernautics/Alex T-man - GLSL my timbers, Walking the real-time & Generative Plank

Episode 19 is here, and we have the melty wizard Alex Tman AKA  @psybernautics5164 . Alex is a master developer, a generative magician and absolute banger of a VJ, harnessing the power of GLSL and shaders he has created some of the most iconic and wild looking scenes on the Synesthesia marketplace, he has performed with massive electronic music acts and played at massive festivals all around the US. we go into Alexs beginnings as a software engineer in the security sector, to getting blasted at bass shows and being introduced to Visuals by  @zipvisuals8713 , falling in love with GLSL and discovering synesthesia, the power of generative real-time audio reactive visuals, self acceptance and self expression, coping with depression via coding and art and getting inspired from others being inspired!! For Alex's SET we get blessed with a heated real-time, generative audio/visual set with absolutely banging music by Mirage, Alex then shows us how he makes his visuals in GLSL within the powerful and super VJ friendly Synesthesia. For those not familiar @synesthesialive is one of the most advanced and powerful VJ software's out there, a real-time generative playground harnessing the power of GLSL in an easy to use and intuitive environment. This was the longest set we've done, and seeing Alex's scenes (available to purchase on the synth marketplace) at the code level was fascinating! It was a huge pleasure having Alex on and we had such a blast together!!!
