Here's the guy who did the site... JPaulo Designs very easy to work with and a good eye for cool design.

Very cool. I was never a big fan of link sounds, but those are fairly unobtrusive. The visuals are very nice.

One nitpick that could just be me, but I want to see the logos framing the top as mirror images.

Congrats!

Technically... superb!

IMO, a bit too "Let's-max-out-flash" over substance, though... kinda like "How much beat-repeat can we do?"

It took me a while to figure out what you actually do...

Excellent! Thanks so much for the feedback...that's super important!

The button sounds: I generally hate button sounds on websites, so I'm kinda torn about whether to keep them or note. I figured if we were going to have them I might as well make them at least somewhat interesting. So I creeated them so they make a melody of sorts, pan around a little bit, and, most importantly, are not too loud.

The banner image: we are still working on that, probably make something up in AfterEffects for it.

hambone1: thanks so much for that, bro. We definitely don't want a "form-over-substance" site, but at the same time feel our site is another vehicle for artistic expression, so we focused a lot on getting it to "look nice". The main thing is the AV player, which has our original AV productions. Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Explaining to people what we do has always been a challenge for us, as we feel our work is best represented by experiencing it - thus the AV player. Part of the reason our site is so flashed-out is that we are looking to incorporate interactive elements such as an interactive AV "mixer". I was quite impressed by Ticon's website which features a mixer for a few of their tracks....create your own remix!

I'll keep an eye on the Big Wednesday site for it's completion...is that your band?

dig the site. when checking out pix: first I click ethois4, then I click on a picture, and then I hit the right arrow button to go to the next set of pictures, then I click on some pictures, then when I click back on "pix" at the bottom, I get an internet explorer encountered and unexpected error message and closing the error box closes the page. I'd look at the code but it's flash...

I tried a few times to make sure it's reproducable--here's what I found: If I go to the second set of pictures, click on only one picture, then click pix it is fine. But, if I go to the secon set of ethois4 pictures, click on a few of them in sucession, the click pix, I get the error...don't know flash well enough to diagnose, but let your boy know. (i'm on xp sp1, using ie 6.0.28 with flash 8,0,24,0 installed)

great site, keep it up!

Oh man, thank you Ryan! Very kind of you to replicate that problem. We'll work on getting that sorted asap.

You have a nice site as well...simple, clean, and lots of tasty music! I like checking out your non-musical projects while diggin your tuns...you've got some diversity goin on!

thanks ethios4! Its funny, I get my best architectural/design ideas when I'm playing instruments and not even thinking about the design/project at all--somehow the immediacy of playing music puts me in a more creative headspace than consciously designing--I feel fortunate to be involved in both fields and to use each to inform the other.

the two fields have a lot in common. It's not that strange.

WootWoot!!
IOAV.COM has been updated with over half an hour of new AudioVisual content, 2 new DVDs, and our very own T-Shirts!!

The 2 new DVDs are:

AVit Retreat 2005
For a week in June 2005, 15 VJs convened in the mountains of central Colorado to collaborate on video content, share ideas, and build a fully immersive geodesic AudioVisual dome with 21 hexagonal screens and a 360-degree video wrap, quadraphonic sound, and simulatneous video feeds from 7 very talented VJ's, all being mixed live onto 3 arrays of 7 hexagons via a custom built MAX/Jitter patch. This was an unbelievable experience, and was fortunately caught on video in HighDefinition

There is over an hour of excellent footage from inside the dome, and several interviews with the VJ's involved. A lot of fun to watch - check it out...there's 15 clips from the DVD in our AV gallery!

I/O AudioVisual live at Wakarusa 2006

The breakthrough 1.25 hour live AudioVisual mix as performed and recorded at the Wakarusa jamband festival in Lawrence, KS this summer. We developed an incredible level of integration between Live, Resolume, Grid2, the V4 mixer, and MIDI controllers....Live used as both a DJ setup and as a master controller for audio,video, AV clips, and the video mixer. Tighht!! It's a superb mix of gorgeous video, top-notch progressive psytrance, AV sampling, and the ineffable synergy between sight and sound.
Check it out...we have 13 clips from this DVD in our AV gallery!

There's almost an hour of great AudioVisual clips now....enjoy!!
