Really From

Sean Catangui tells us how he struck a chord with his Paper.js audiovisual project

Tell us what Really From does

Really From is an interactive audiovisual album. It’s sorted into five pieces that each consist of interactive generative animations and a song. Rather than have the audio influence the visuals, I invite the user to ‘dance’ along and control what they see with either a mouse or a MIDI controller.

Why did you create it?

This project was an opportunity for me to explore my full range of artistic expression – my background is equal parts music (jazz saxophone and piano) and mathematics. Visually I was very inspired by Oskar Fischinger and conceptually I wanted to emulate Beyonce’s Lemonade and Frank Ocean’s Endless.
