Overview

Festival-scale live visuals for Baltimore’s TailGOAT events — custom Ravens content, real-time generative layers, and outdoor LED optimized for daylight crowds and musical sync.

Challenge

Outdoor LED in daylight, a crowd that arrives loud, and a rotating lineup of DJs and moments — the visuals have to hit hard, stay legible in sun, and track the music without a rehearsal.

Response

I design and perform the visual program: custom Ravens content built for the stage’s LED geometry, real-time generative layers, and live-input manipulation synced to each set.

Outcome

A recurring series where the screen is part of the event’s identity — game-day energy that reads from the back of the lot and reacts like a band member.
