The 19th century quest for synaesthetic colour music forms the conceptual starting point for Fleshtones, a piece for pixelated pornography and auto generated accompaniment. Footage from webcams and other online sites is broken down into a simple tableau of colour bands. Given the subject matter this palette is either predominately pink or coffee coloured; these fleshtones are turned into lyrical piano music thanks to the wonders of max/msp/jitter. A music that rises and falls in response and exact correspondence to the onscreen movement. Soundtrack by Philip Sanderson.
