The core of the project lies in its functionality: TypeMOD does not translate an indirect interpretation of the musician's work by the designer. Instead, it is a system where typography is directly influenced by the music played live. The musician can see, in real-time, the impact of their sounds on the typographic and visual forms. The designer’s influence is limited to establishing constraints—graphical rules and specific frequency ranges—that define how the characters transform.
The project follows a No Code approach, built using TouchDesigner. Thanks to its node-based system, it directly links sound parameters to typographic properties without requiring manual coding, allowing for real-time experimentation and adjustments.
To anchor this dynamic typography in a more permanent form, the musician composed a fixed piece, "Nodis," which can also be performed live. From this sonic structure emerged a typographic score, a captured moment of typography in motion, visually reflecting the nuances and rhythms of the music.
Through the TypeMOD system, it is possible to create VJing visuals, enhancing immersion during live performances. Additionally, by associating multiple typographies with a fixed musical piece like "Nodis," the project enables the development of a strong visual identity.
In this project, texts and musics merge into an experimental language, where the perception of the visible and the audible becomes an inseparable sensory experience.
