I was born in Belfast, I have the same birthday as Rembrandt, The conflict is never ending.

Glenn Marshall’s distinct style of abstract computer animation blends modern art, eastern mysticism, mathematics, nature and science. A strong advocate in the digital artist’s necessity to be both artist and programmer, creating their own technology to create their own art, his recent works are entirely self-coded animations.

His clients have included Guinness, Panasonic & Vimeo, and has produced work for studios such as Onedotzero and Nexus, London.  Glenn is also a collaborator with Peter Gabriel, having created live concert visuals and music videos for him, one of which won an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica 2009, one of the most prestigious cyber arts festivals in the world.  Most recently his work was exhibited in New York City drawing the attention of the New York TImes marking it out as a break through in the world of fine art and interactive art.

    Hey, Wow!

    I’ve checked out Your Music is Math Video and the videos that used the same technology and its a great example of music working with visualisations.

    Have you ever seen Dancer DNA? It seems to work on a similar basis, obviously Visualisations such as Winamps plugins are similar but this seems to create greater detail in picking out aspects of the track playing..

    The reason I know about all these is because I produce trance music and always thought something like this would work well as a music video for a track, also because the music is quite progressive I think it would work well visually. (checkout an early version of one of my proggy tracks on my website).

    Another application would be club visuals…

    Your visualisations absolutely blew me away! I never usually leave comments on peoples pages but this is something else..!

    I’m a musician and to see a visual representation of music in such beauty is awe inspiring.

    My hat is off to you, good sir, keep the great work coming.

    Hi there, I appreciate your work.
    Do you have any plans to make Supernova into an Universal Binary so that it could also run on the iPhone? That would be great, especially if you added support for the Retina Display in iPhone 4, it would bring your art even more alive! Also it would be a great gift for the users who already support your work and art by having bought the current iPad version. :)
    Best regards.

    Hey, love your work. I discovered your apps on youtube. I like them so much that I bought all.

    I don’t understand why your apps are not in top 100.

    Can you raise the price on these apps? I think these apps deserve better sales ,and they should belong to the same class of luxury cars.

    I was willing to pay 5 USD for each.

    Keep up the great work! We need more quality apps like this.

    BTW, I am thinking of making Processing available on iPad for everyone to port their art work. I got half a way done, but just don’t have enough time to get back to it.

    Cheers

  16. Thanks Randy!
    I’ve experimented with different pricing, but it doesn’t really make much difference to net income, which isn’t very much I’m afraid,
    thanks for positive feedback though,
    Glenn.

    I am having problem…big problem, to put the applet on the website. I don’t know how to copy it to my website or to get it on vimeo…I must missed something but I don’t know what.

    I am teaching myself programming and I am really in love with Processing, the Processing language part is not too bad, but how to get it out on the web is the problem.

    I don’t know what to do, please help me… :)
