Visual karaoke for jamming?
I’ve been having regularly for a few years with a great bunch of musicians and we’ve started using a projector playing old movies to add to the atmosphere of the room during sessions in the last year (last week we had stalker, this week was barbabella filled by Marc caro student film and then this Saul bass thing called phase iv). As an audiovisual freak I’ve started wondering if there’s an easy way to use some tech bridge between MIDI chords and a visual trigger that will let us all know a change is coming.
I’ve wondered whether an iOS solution could be put together; maybe a combination of a sequencer and something like imaginando’s visual synth. Thinking about it, there’d need to be a way to have the visual side be triggered by the same sequence that plays but about a bar ahead so that the change can be signalled.
I’m not sure whether this is a great idea or just silly tbh…
I’m not sure on the visual language but it’d be nice not to have actual chords up on screen but then again that might be best…
Just floating this out there to see what comes back in on the tide…

You’re trying to have a setup with the projector playing a movie while jamming to a song with structured chord parts and have visual cues for the upcoming chords, right? I’m trying to make sure I understand the setup you’re going for. Not sure if I have solutions but I’m wondering if something as simple as side by side apps in windowed mode would be sufficient. Play the movie in one app and open whatever displays they playing chords open next to it.
Sorry, i optionally wasn’t very clear in my explanation. I was more thinking something that would kinda play clips from a library, or even clips as segments of a movie from a selection, then to demarcate certain clips or maybe an effect as signaling a change, preferably without the cord being written in explicitly; either just a general ‘change coming’ signal that we all know in advance what it might mean, or perhaps certain clips/FX/colours that signal certain changes or types of changes… as you can tell my thinking is a little unclear at this point, but one of the intentions is not to interrupt the vibe of the moment both for us, and problem in the future an (gulp) audience.
We’re kinda thinking about long form happening type events where visuals and music blend into one thing, we play for hours at a time without break, most of it quite listenable/danceable and we’re starting to think about sharing it a bit further than YouTube…
I was thinking about this a bit. Could you use something like LumaFusion and add the cues to the end of each clip? Or are you trying to make it a bit more free form than that, something like BeatCut?
