I’ve supported a few ‘crowd-funded’ projects in recent months, including the production of a DVD of visuals by the Joshua Light Show in New York (who provided visuals for famous music acts in the 1960s), The Sensorium Project (an 11.11m dome for video/interactive/psychedelic art to travel festivals here in Australia), and helping Professor Kliq (a musician / producer in Chicago) obtain his music composition degree.
The Sensorium Project has not yet reached its funding target and has just 5 days to go; I have just doubled my pledge and encourage any Australian VJs and visualists to contribute if they can.
Update: Ok, so I’m a spazz. I recognised the backing track in the TV ad for Telstra, and later when I went to my PC to work out what it was, I was tricked by the Arovane track, Goodbye Forever (after listening to it, and without the TV ad to listen to again to check). The track used is actually Trentemøller - Miss You – a completely separate, though similarly beautiful track. Sorry Anders (and Arovane) for having been mistaken!
Since I have the video link for Arovane track here already, you may as well enjoy it. :o)
This is just a small celebratory post to announce moving into a new home in London. I could have moved in on Monday, but I’ve been trapped at the old place by having to conduct viewings (and of course not having the remainder of my things packed until last night). Today I transported the second half of my stuff; taking the bus was a little less arduous than the walk up on Monday night with backpack, tent and Ready Bed (sleepinig bag + air bed).
It is a musical household and I think I am going to like living here. That is assuming the cold doesn’t make me dislike everything! :o)
This is a beautiful example of the use of Processing. Not by me, unfortunately, but I hope to be able to make animations like this soon! Nice track by Boards of Canada too. A great result from a nice inspiration.
Psytasia Castleval from Friday 06 June to Sunday 08 June 2008 had an amazing setup. It is the first time I have seen video projectors with mirror heads like “intelligent lighting” equipment, and they were used to good effect! They were used along with static projections and two massive stretched material screens (mirror image) at the front with the DJs high above the main/outdoor dancefloor.
I flew over from London early Friday morning with S&J, and we caught a ride with T&M from Salzburg to Leiben. Today I am in Salzburg, returning to London late this evening. Photos to be posted soon. :o)
