One show, many clocks
Cadenza coordinates independent controllers around a shared sense of time so each object renders the same moment without streaming frames across the room.
A synchronized light show made from independent objects
Cadenza
A network of LED controllers that shares time, holds its choreography, and turns distributed hardware into one visual instrument.

Behind the build
From premise to presence.
Choreography as compact state
Patterns travel as small parameters and a time anchor. Late arrivals calculate where the show is now and join in phase.
Built from bench to room
Custom boards, firmware, controls, and fixtures evolve together. The result is less a strip of pixels than a material for shaping space.
Media needed
See Cadenza from every angle.
Hardware, synchronized patterns, control surfaces, and installations in motion.
