The SCAN PROCESSOR STUDIES are a collection of works by
Woody Vasulka & Brian O'Reilly.

The full work is of total approximate duration of 45
minutes, with sections of various lengths, textures, and
dynamic qualities.

The project first started while Woody and I were working on
different commissioned projects at the ZKM (Zentrum für
Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe Germany). He and
Steina on the exhibition MINDFRAMES and Garth Knox and
myself on the DVD and performance SPECTRAL STRANDS: FOR
VIOLA AND VISUALS. Woody, Steina, Garth and I spent many
nights screening works for moving images, playing music, and
cooking, enveloped in the huge ghost town mood the ZKM's
kitchen took on at night. During this time there were
passionate discussions about video synthesizers (mainly my
love for the Sandin Image Processor), and how Steina's
VIOLIN POWER had a huge influence on Garth's and my new
series of works.

The source materials were generated by Woody using a
Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970's and sat on a shelf
for years, having been recently digitized. Woody came into
my studio one day and asked me if I would be interested in
using them to work on a collaboration, and the project began
from there...

The works use sources excavated directly from the output of
the Scan Processor, as well as further manipulations using
Tom Demeyer's ImX software, developed with input from
Steina. Extensive editing and layering and additional
augmentations were done using Phil Mortons IP. The Sound was
generated (mostly) by custom software developed by
Chandrasekhar Ramakrishnan and myself called NETHER
GENERATOR, which sets up a number of complex real time
feedback networks filtered and processed by various
means.''
