A.M. Architect Audio + Visual Art Project by Diego Chavez & Daniel Stanush
For the past decade, I've created multimedia experiences with A.M. Architect alongside Daniel Stanush. Our collaboration weaves Stanush's melodic sensibility with my soundscape manipulation, using TouchDesigner and machine learning to transform performances into interactive installations. Through beats, generative visuals, and audience interaction, we're redefining the boundaries between electronic music and digital art.
