Modular Synthesis and Touchdesigner with Konx-om-Pax

Glasgow-based musician and visual artist Konx‑om‑Pax presents a special session exploring how modular synthesizers can drive real‑time visuals inside TouchDesigner.

In this talk, he’ll break down his full workflow—connecting modular CV into Ableton Live, sending over to Touchdesigner and using it to animate generative visual systems. You’ll see a simple reactive patch come to life, followed by a deeper look at how he builds real‑time 3D scenes for live performance.

After the presentation, stay for an exclusive audio‑visual set where Konx‑om‑Pax puts all these techniques into action, merging modular sound design with evolving, immersive visuals.

This session is ideal for musicians who want to develop their own visual language and bring reactive, real‑time graphics into their performances. It’s equally suited for visual artists looking to expand their skill set into audio‑driven systems, generative design, and modular‑integrated workflows. Whether you’re curious about building your first reactive patch or exploring advanced 3D environments for live shows, this talk offers practical techniques you can apply immediately.

About the Artist:

Konx‑om‑Pax is the alias of Glasgow‑based musician and visual artist Tom Scholefield, whose multidisciplinary practice bridges electronic music, visual art, and immersive performance. Since 2010, he has released a series of acclaimed albums and EPs on the UK label Planet Mu, developing a distinctive sound that moves fluidly between ambient abstraction, cinematic composition, and high‑energy club experimentation. His work explores the emotional and spatial dimensions of sound and image, often translating modular synthesis and digital processes into vivid, reactive visual environments.

Beyond his recorded output, Konx‑om‑Pax has performed internationally at venues and festivals including Mutek, Sonar, and Berlin Atonal, presenting large‑scale audio‑visual shows that merge real‑time 3D graphics with live electronic performance. His collaborations span music, fashion, and design—from composing for Chanel’s Haute Couture cat walks to creating visual worlds for artists such as Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never.

Rooted in Glasgow’s vibrant creative scene, Konx‑om‑Pax continues to push the boundaries of audiovisual expression, developing new systems that connect modular synthesis, generative art, and performance technology into emotionally resonant, immersive experiences.
