For the rollout of N U I T's Alt Real album, I built one audio-reactive lyric visualizer per track and released each alongside the single. This series is the working notebook: the concept, the Blender and Houdini setups, the stem breakdowns and the decisions behind each piece, one episode at a time.
- EP01N U I T – I wish you were here
The first of twelve visualizers for N U I T's Alt Real album: how a decade of black-and-white EP art gives way to colour, built in Blender.
Jun 23, 2026 - EP02N U I T – My Burning Soul
A body burning down to the skeleton to keep only the burning passion: how three piano-driven textures, a Burn Noise shader and a bit of extra Glare carry the whole visualizer for My Burning Soul.
Jun 30, 2026 - EP03N U I T – Don't Say Goodbye
The prep behind N U I T's Alt Real visualizers: a mood board, an overplayed playlist and a title cut into sections became the visual grammar.
Jul 7, 2026 - EP04N U I T – Let Me Disappear (Inside)
A direct sequel to Don't Say Goodbye: an X-ray shader, a silhouette that never leaves the frame, and a three-part structure that ends the video in black and white, without nuance, without return.
Jul 12, 2026 - EP05N U I T – This Alternate Reality
A childhood Sega Saturn level, an elevator that reacts to sound by going soft, and an exploding red that crystallizes anger rising at the end of a bridge.
Jul 18, 2026 - EP06N U I T – Dancing In Wonderland
Making the Dancing In Wonderland visualizer: a lighthouse rebuilt from debris, a piano driving the light, and a late change to the master.
Jul 26, 2026 - EP07N U I T – I Believe
A reactive audio desert driven by bass and drums, a day/night cycle standing in for a reflection on death, and a closing tribute to old age hidden in a handful of grains of sand.
Aug 2, 2026 - EP08N U I T – We Will Meet Again
The We Will Meet Again visualizer, and a realization: the whole series has been built on Memento Mori and vanitas symbolism without me noticing.
Aug 15, 2026 - EP09N U I T – Old Friend
The Old Friend visualizer: a reused rose and skeleton, Monkey Island 2's dancing skeletons resurfacing, and a question about synaesthesia and memory.
Aug 22, 2026 - EP10N U I T – Godspeed
An elevator that climbs forever instead of falling, wind curves built in geometry nodes after a Wind Waker and old Gorillaz memory, and a moon that turns into a rose to set up next week's video.
Aug 29, 2026 - EP11N U I T – Dreamland Newborn
The Dreamland Newborn visualizer: the rose from Don't Say Goodbye opens, driven by Will's voice — sensuality without a silhouette was the brief.
Planned Sep 5, 2026 - EP12N U I T – The Blinding
Closing the loop on twelve videos: a sun and moon that opened the album now collapse into a black hole, built from a childhood habit of staring straight at the sun and the burn it left behind.
Planned Sep 12, 2026
