That "Concert Visuals Showreel 2024" is bonkers, it seems similar to a demoscene piece but on even more crack and psychadelics. Intensely provocative, and easy to imagine it up on a huge screen.

OK, I checked it out too and I'm a little less impressed. I don't mean to knock the OP too hard, but I feel like I've been seeing the exact same "glitchy morphs in time to the music" for ever, like literally for decades.

Maybe that's just what people want and props to the creator for nailing the genre but I'd be way more interested in something actually unique and generated real time with the music. I feel like visualizers from the 2000s were more impressive - surely with all the progress in CPU/GPU we could be doing some truly epic visualizations these days...

it's absolutely nuts live especially at bass-heavy shows. a lot of the smaller guys have really good stuff, but Excision's visuals are the andromeda/farbrausch tier of VJ production imo:

Just for point of reference, there are a handful of AAA motion graphics studios that put together visuals for these tours -- for instance, IMMANENT did Excision's current Nexus Tour visuals. Really amazing shit.
