LZX Industries

LZX Industries builds electronic instruments for creating and performing visual art with video signals. Portland, Oregon. Founded 2010.

LZX Industries was born in 2008 out of the Synth DIY scene when Lars Larsen of Denton, Texas and Ed Leckie of Sydney, Australia began collaborating on the development of a modular video synthesizer. At that time, analog video synthesizers were inaccessible to artists outside of a handful of studios and universities. It is our continuing mission to design creative video instruments that (1) stay wi

thin the financial means of the artists who wish to use them, (2) honor and preserve the legacy of 20th century toolmakers, and (3) expand the boundaries of possibility regardless of commercial viability. The community of enthusiasts employing our tools in their personal meditations and artworks is what makes our mission possible.

A little behind the scenes on how shipment for our Videomancer looks! Let us know what you think!

Meet Videodrome TV — an analog video editor and visual artist from Virginia who’s been collecting VHS since the mid 90s.

“With the use of dual VCRs, I will punch edit the VHS tape to the beat of the track while looping the audio through an analog mixer. As the tape loops and syncs, I run the source to multiple analog video mixers ranging from basic enhancers to modified mixers from the glitch art world community.”

Starting with nostalgic commercial aesthetics, Videodrome found their way to live glitch art streams during the pandemic, then onto the stage — building visuals for musicians in real time. Their signal chain runs straight into an 8 CRT wall, projecting to the crowd or rescanning for video capture.

Today we’re experimenting with Corollas, Isotherm, and Stipple! Which one was your favorite?

Meet Dan Haywood (Animoscillator) — a video artist who experiments with dead media: Edirol V4s, CRTs, rescanning rigs, and the kind of analog feedback you have to chase for years before it starts answering back.

“Once I figured out feedback and how to manipulate it, I became obsessed. It was like I was struck by some arcane knowledge.”

Dan came up filming everything as a kid, then worked as a theater tech, tinkering with whatever obsolete analog gear was within reach. A Pink Floyd tribute band tour put his first Edirol V4 in his hands, and online video art forums gave him a community. Today his process leans on contentious experimentation, unpatching the rig and starting over when things stall, and a steady appetite for happy accidents.

Meet IMMA Musica — a full-time video artist from Ridgefield, Queens, whose Queens studio holds 2,000 VHS tapes, 40 CRT TVs, and a growing collection of video mixers and glitch boxes.

“That community opened my mind to glitch art and experimentation within the medium.”

IMMA’s path started with electronic music — Daft Punk, a Roland Juno-106, a synth habit that wouldn’t stop — until a train ride to Newark and a second-hand Videonics VE-1 pulled him into video synthesis for good. Now he’s building a live set that merges music and visuals in real time, rescanning CRTs with a 4K camera, and preparing for an upcoming exhibition rooted in feedback painting.

Hello Vidiots! Let’s talk Videomancer content creation!

Meet Logan Devlin — a motion designer and video artist from Portland, Oregon, who blurs the line where digital animation ends and analog mayhem begins.

“Feedback trails, noise, and all the analog characteristics of this process still feel like magic to me 12+ years later.”

Logan’s work usually starts with a story built in Blender or TouchDesigner, then runs through second-hand video enhancers and detailers he and his friends used to crack open after high school. The result lands back in the scene as texture, grit, and unmistakable analog character. He is currently working on two music video projects that experiment with slitscan and time displacement.

Meet Alex Carro — an analog video artist whose curiosity grew into a daily practice during the 2020 lockdown.

“The tactile nature of analog video — turning k***s, patching cables, watching the signal collapse and reassemble — hooked me immediately.”

Alex patches a multi-path signal chain through TBC2, Ribbons, Diver, DSG, Aural Scan, and Memory Palace, splitting the final feed between a clean V4EX path and a BPMC Video Nasty glitch loop. This year he is exploring still image generation alongside his VJ performances and album cover work.

Meet Tuna Cat — an audio-visual artist who circuit-bends old video equipment and rescans the result through a wall of CRTs.

“Currently I have five different circuit bent designs from color correctors to enhancers, each one giving me different styles and functions for video art.”

Every visual pairs with a different genre of music: old VHS found footage with slowcore rock, digital coding for jungle or ambient, psychedelic for liquid light shows. With more than forty CRT TVs in the studio, picking the right one for rescanning is half the work.

Meet Derick Noetzel — a video artist and live visual collaborator who creates immersive audio-reactive light shows with analog video synthesis.
