A SCARED PILOT
The Machine
The MACHINE is an immersive exploration of emotional tension, where strangeness teases curiosity, evoking both desire and discomfort. The music and visuals constantly dance on the edge of emotion—never shocking, never dull, yet always unsettling. You find yourself searching for meaning, grasping for something to hold on to, only to have it slip away. It’s an experience designed to confuse, to intrigue, and to leave you questioning, forever chasing a sense of understanding that remains just out of reach.
WATCH
A Scared Pilot is a French audio and visual artist who creates immersive, real-time experiences through generative music and dynamic visuals. Using software-based modular patches, A Scared Pilot triggers elements of a 3D world that evolve alongside the music. The visuals, synchronized with the sound, move and shift in rhythm, creating a captivating interplay between sight and sound. The music itself is composed by code, constantly regenerating, ensuring that no performance is ever the same.
In live shows, A Scared Pilot manipulates both audio and visuals in real time, offering audiences a one-of-a-kind experience where art and technology converge into something organic and unpredictable.
The Making
Unity software is typically used for creating video games, but in this case, it’s being used to craft a piece of art. While it incorporates game assets, they are reassembled in unconventional and expressive ways to serve the artistic concept’s purpose.
All the music is generated in real time from Axoloti, a small circuit board, with all the beats and synths programmed according to specific rules.
A custom software, coded from scratch using Cycling74 Max, was specifically created for this piece of art. It synchronizes the music with the 3D environment, allowing real-time manipulation of every element.
