Influences: Cult Viewing

2009-08-12T18:06:00.000-07:00

The short lived and extremely experimental/baffaling program AKA Cult Toons was a show that blew my 13 year old mind at the turn of the last century. A patchwork show of non-sequitur clips compiled from the Time Warner vaults by VJ's Xavier Perkins and Brett Foraker to create bizarre comedy programming. Ive been trying to hunt down the show for years, but seems Youtube has come up trumps again:

Squarepusher: live A/V show

2009-04-30T06:17:00.000-07:00

Footage I recorded from sundays Squarepusher gig in the stiff kitten, belfast.
The set up was incredible, three large screens that produced pixelated wave forms and colours of every note from Tom Jenkinson's mad bass noodling in real time.

also, apologies for the horrendous sound quality, the funktion ones obliterated my tiny camera mic.

Creating the Live Audio aspect of the VJing Performance. Using a Mac Running Ableton Live which is controlled by a novation nocturn for EQ's and cross fading and the like. Effects are applied by a Korg Kaoss pad and Additional synths are added with a Kaossilator.
This was the very first live practice of a couple of tracks I have been working on lately so its rather rough around the edges.Looking back, I need to take it easy on the reverb!
