Overview

Live visual performance and video operation for events: custom content, real-time generative layers, and live input, performed and run in the room. Starting with the Ravens TailGOAT series.

01 · Ravens TailGOAT · Baltimore, MD · 2023 – present
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.

TailGOAT: the stage, mid-set

Custom content and generative layers performed live — no fixed playlist, no two events alike.
