Resolume 7.28 uses vision to let you play with intelligent live effects and blends

Take a break from the surveillance nightmare around us for computer vision that’s local, not online, and doing creative, artistic things, instead. Resolume 7.28 adds some powerful Wire nodes and new effects and blends, all powered by vision. Yep, Resolume’s removing your backgrounds, segmenting your humans, estimating depth — and it’s good, clean fun.

Septabee, an insane-looking free Linux/Windows DAW with pomegranates

Suddenly, a bunch of the producers I follow are buzzing about the music-mangling possibilities of Septabee, a free DAW for Linux and Windows developed “in secret” over “20,000 hours.” And it looks like insane fun: a bonkers dataflow interface and “violently unfinished” early-access software available through an intentionally broken website that autoplays music and makes you hunt for the click zone like it’s 1994.

With audio and VST3 support, Isadora is now a complete interactive canvas

Isadora for macOS and Windows has long been a powerful media art tool for those in the know, thanks to its intuitive interface and focus on live performance. It’s the media art tool that can feel at home with dance choreographers, a rare piece of software that gets dramaturgy. Isadora 4.5 adds a lot to that, but most notably flexible sound tools — and VST3 support — bring it solidly into the world of audiovisual media.
