A whole bunch of activity

Abstract Sound Project - Live Teaser 2009 from Personne Records on Vimeo.
The inbox has received a bounty of video links recently. The dream of several years ago of cohesive audio visual collaborations is becoming a reality as the Abstract Sound Project collaborates with Diez. A relatively simple approach that delivers.

"Through a live audio associated with a performance video, Abstract Sound Project reveals a unique combination of sound and image. On a projection surface of 20m², they transport us into their world where electronic sounds blend with the graphic arts.

This structure helps to immerse 2 musician in various tables imagined realized by the video artist Diez.

One beamer, modul8, one bcf2000 , for live video , each screen is managed independently."


Video Mashup from Zoo Usine, Geneva 2009 from Startsladd on Vimeo.
Gothumborg, Sweden crew Startsladd gets teamed up with A-LI-CE at the Zoo in Geneva, Switzerland. A nice pairing I think as both entities are skilled creators of custom video footage that is always both engaging and humorous. Startsladd has also just relaunched their website with an updated VJ demo for the coming year.


baba roga's revenge voirchestra presents HÄXAN from pixelschubser on Vimeo.
From Mannheim, Germany Pixelshubser keeps up a very active schedule of vj sets, the upcoming B-seite festival. Of interest to me was an 'expanded cinema performance of Häxan (Witchcraft Through the Ages) made 1922 from Benjamin Christensen.'

As for me, I am in New York at the moment along with Modul8 Team member Sigma6. Meeting up with Vimeo and other Modul8 enthusiasts as well as doing some performances and a Modul8 workshop. Until then.
