After a series of hugely popular Artist Masterclass sessions at the studio, we're delighted to welcome Konx-om-Pax (aka Tom Scholefield // Planet Mu) to the studio to deliver a session on getting started with creating audio-reactive visuals.
Having released some incredible, forward-thinking music and toured as an audio-visual live act, Tom is a true industry professional and is going to show you how to take your first steps into the world of live visuals.
Using Touch Designer (free version available here) you will be guided through your first steps with getting audio and visuals to interact with each other.
This session is delivered at our custom-built studio in the South Side of Glasgow. Our studio features:
- multiple electronic music studios
- the Instruo Modular workshops – all modules are hand-built here
- classrooms

…and more! Our address is:

G51 1PH
Tom’s debut album Regional Surrealism was released on Planet Mu in 2012, followed by Caramel (2016), which was shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year in 2017, and Ways of Seeing (2019). The Refresher EP (2019) featured the track “Cascada,” which gained international exposure when it was used in Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2018 Haute Couture show. In 2020, he released Return to Cascada, including a Skee Mask remix that received support from Four Tet and Mary Anne Hobbs.
Konx-om-Pax has collaborated on live AV shows with Kode9, Hudson Mohawke and Lone. In 2018, he curated Contemporary Hardcore at Berlin Atonal, a bold collision of rave nostalgia and cutting-edge visuals. He toured the Ways of Seeing live show across Europe in 2019, with appearances at Mira Festival (Barcelona) and Red Bull Music Festival (Istanbul).
The pandemic in 2020 led Scholefield to deepen his practice, exploring modular synthesis and generative art. This experimentation resulted in the ongoing System Works EP series, self-released as a platform for his more exploratory audiovisual output.
In 2024, Cryptic commissioned UAXUCTUM, a new AV work premiered at Glasgow’s IMAX during Sonica Glasgow and in 2025 he became a Cryptic Artist. The piece has since been performed in London, Porto and Rome as part of Fotonica Festival, presented in an immersive dome environment. The score for UAXUCTUM will be released via his Display Copy label in summer 2025.
