SFJAZZ


EVENT: SFMOMA + SFJAZZ
DATE:  2025
My visuals responded in real-time to the ensemble’s evolving sound textures—shifting between organic, lo-fi aesthetics and bold, abstract compositions. Through a combination of generative art, real-time manipulation, and layered video synthesis, I sought to extend the ensemble’s improvisational ethos into the visual realm, creating an ever-evolving dialogue between sound and image.

This performance was part of a citywide initiative to celebrate San Francisco’s music scene, co-produced by Noise Pop, SF Live, and the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD).

Heavy Arts Ensemble is an improvisational collective blending modular synthesis, live sampling, ambient jazz, and experimental soundscapes.
