Frog Technology

Audience-controlled audio visual instrument, custom MIDI control and semicircular screen with freestanding structure for rear projection.

Experience

Frog Technology is a pick-up-and-play A/V instrument. The performer fades stems, switches scenes, and shapes parameters in real-time, hearing the mix change while the visuals respond instantly. It works as a featured performance, a lobby activation, between stages, or a late-night interactive lounge. Short-throw friendly and readable in mixed light, it scales from small spaces to festival environments without losing clarity and is popular with all ages.

Design & Control

Built in TouchDesigner and Ableton Live. 4 live sounds are mapped to a custom MIDI controller, with knobs modulating the sound and driving both audio and visuals. A separate Joystick controls the generative visual system and collaboration between the controllers is encouraged. The visual engine runs on generative systems, beat detection, and feedback loops so the knobs are instantly responsive and the visuals actually follow your lead. Housed in a custom free-standing, weather resistant amphitheater. This piece can evolve with it’s surroundings and is currently being developed with an underwater theme.
