Oscilloscope Visuals + Modular Synths = Tristan Bres’ Setup

French electronic music composer and performer Tristan Bres gives us a deep look into his live performance setup, where Visibox plays a central role in delivering organic, improvisational visuals—without a visible laptop on stage.

From oscilloscope-generated graphics to filming CRT TVs and using MIDI-triggered visual clips, Tristan explains how he blends analog gear, modular synths, and real-time camera feeds to create a truly immersive and human live experience.

Topics covered in this conversation: – Using Visibox for improvisational visual control – Building visual clips from archive.org and video synthesis – Performing with EuroRack, Minimoog, and Fender Rhodes – Creating vector graphics with oscilloscopes – Managing real-time visuals with camera feeds and Elgato – The philosophy of keeping performances live, human, and analog
