our friend and fellow VJ Allan White (aka “Wazungu”) has made what could be a very exciting discovery that has gotten some major media attention in the world of Mac.

he has blogged about & VJ’d some “trippy visuals” from Magnetosphere, and has proclaimed that this could be the new visualizer in iTunes 8, scheduled to release next week at Apple’s Sept 9th event.

MacRumors.com recently had posted a quote from an Apple Exec saying that “the new iTunes 8.0 visualizations are really trippy – there is one with planet like objects wrapping around each other w/stars/light streams”

VJ Wazungu decided to do a little more research…and it resulted in his find being published on MacRumors.com today!

to read more about Allan’s “visual prophecy” check out his blog. He’s a great VJ that I met on the road a few years back when VJ-ing for the Luis Palau Festival in DC, and he is currently working for the Luis Palau organization now. He was one of the first guys to ever comment on this blog and has been a huge encouragement in launching the worship VJ blog. I follow him on Twitter and so can you!

and to be mesmerized by this amazing visualization and soon to be VJ tool of mine, watch this video!

  1. Stephen, you made me smile! I suppose blogging is like “proclaiming”, but I never thought of it as prophecy. Thanks a lot for the shout-out!

    BTW I have a source who really made the connection first, but I can’t reveal that source (you can guess why). We’re laughing about it together!

    Fun times. Ok, now for a skate break and back to work.

  2. I guess I used the term “prophet” lightly! haha
    I wanted to go for dramatic and epic.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on this visualizer. i’ve got some cool ideas for future events.

  3. FYI – for those of you wondering, but iTunes 8 did in fact use Magnetosphere as the new iTunes visualizer.
    Homerun, Allan!

  4. Is there a way to use this visualizer with ProPresenter or PVP?

  5. the only way is to capture it (using a video screen capture program like iShowU and saving it as a QuickTime file and importing it into Pro/PVP. no way to do it as a true live visualizer.

    i've done this a lot, and honestly, at least for concert/worship settings, it gives the same effect. it's not a "sensitive" as some other visualizers.

    take the CD version or "track" or record the visualizer during the band's rehearsal, and then drop it in and fire it at the same time the band starts playing….that should produce a "live" effect.
