ElectroPaint and other Raster Master performances were featured in the Infrared Roses video:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Roses

Infrared Roses is a live compilation album by the Grateful Dead. It is a conglomeration of their famous improvisational segments "Drums" and "Space". The ElectroPaint stuff begins around 11:00, but the Raster Masters did all kind of different stuff in parallel and mixed it all together in real time. I remember them describing some "recursive texture map" feedback too, which only ran on high end SGI workstations.

Electropaint on SGI Indy: A capture of the great screensaver electropaint on an SGI Indy. There is no sound (originally I had Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Miles Beyond" but youtube flagged me for it), but feel free to blast your own music while watching:

>In the spirit of J-Walt's intro message, I'm David Tristram, somewhat of a pioneer in the use of real-time graphics for live performance. Author of Electropaint and Electroslate live performance instruments, and founding member of Raster Masters. Toured with Grateful Dead, developed performance system for Graham Nash and Herbie Hancock.

>I'm just playing with things these days, most recently making music with a small modular system and experimenting with very simple looping visuals in an investigation into the perception of visual rhythms. Here is my most recent test.
