What do you get when you cross an old school 80’s pocket game with glitch art effects and a video clip launcher?? F*&^ if we know but we did it! The first gamified glitch music video maker! It's super rad and easy to use! 1. Video Clip Re-Mixer Load video files as well as an audio file that you want to jam too. Your video files will be chopped and loaded into the video mixer as clips automatically! Now you can push video clips and effect buttons in realtime to create music videos. You also don’t need to load an audio file if you don't want to. 2. Video Clip Launcher / Glitcher / DataMosher Push video clips to either transition between video clips or hold them a bit longer to glitch and DatMosh. Press rapidly to stutter in time to music. Each button has its own datamosh / glitch algorithm. We also added unique glitch effects based off of video circuit bending. 3. Powerful Video EQ Make drastic color changes to your video by adjusting the color sliders. Vapor wave to circuit bent glitch videos. It's all here folks. 4. Effects We created the effects to work together by stacking them. Once you start combining the effects and tweaking the EQ you really get the magic. 5. Save and Share your Creation. All of your saved videos are easily accessible by clicking the Saved Movies option. Here you can relive your favorite Datamoshed moments and share them with your mom by the press of a button. **Disclaimer** As always we promise to harvest all your information through hepatic feedback using the latest technology. Please don’t worry. Instead of painful probes we will use the ions in your body when you push buttons or use retinal scanning every time you stare at your iPhone. This enables us to collect data and control your limbs like a marionette. After we gain full control of your brain we will eventually use you as one of the characters in our first DataMoshing off broadway marionette show “Soylent Green The Sequel It’s People”. One 50% discount per family member. Unless you are one of the marionettes. Oh yea if you are having any issues give us a write ohhihello@destroyallcircuits.com. This will help us a ton. We have many more exciting apps in the works.

I lost 90 pounds without having to change my diet or get surgery this time. I have Carpal tunnel syndrome from using DataMosh Reactive. At least I look good at the beach and I am not affecting kid's mental health anymore! Thanks DAC! -Kim Karmoshigan One step towards global domination! Who needs to go outside! Real life is so last century! Thanks DAC -Zucker Moshenberg I was just about to go to a monastery in Tibet until I found DataMosh Reactive on the App Store. Now I don’t have to meditate or find inner peace anymore. My mind has melted. We are all one like chocolate in the sun! Namoshste - Anonymous in Beverly Hills When I’m not manipulating crypto, over inflating my stocks, writing stupid tweets and spending money to fly to a wasteland instead of fixing earth you can find me using DataMosh Reactive to let out my creative side. (Major run on sentence) -El On Mush Kin Sometimes when I get sad I DataMosh my worst enemies and imagine what they would look like face-melted in a digital world. Then I feel happy again. No more pharmaceuticals for me! -A happy but creepy user
