I'm doing visuals on the 27th
Hello! This is a quick blog post to say: I'm playing a gig on Monday! it's at Folklore, near Hoxton (in London). Tickets available here:
It's a cool lineup! I've not seen Epiloke as Epiloke, but I have seen a bit of Alex's stuff performing with Carnatic rhythms and I dig it – and Lucy is great too, excited to see how she changes it from Alex playing with that stuff solo. hellocatfood is also a legend in the scene. The Printer Jam I haven't seen but as a former plotter person I very much dig the concept.
And there's me! I'm going to be doing visuals for Shankar Saanthakumar! This will be the debut of a new visual tool I've been working on. It's about patterned manipulation of video sources - it's built on Strudel, I guess you can think of it as extending playing audio samples to playing video clips. I think in practice that means there's gonna be a bunch of DVSA hazard perception CGI videos being glitched with. Trying to stop adding features now and focus on actually learning how to use the tool - it's funny how making the instrument is such a different task from learning how to use it.
And then coming up: I think I have another gig to announce soon, also in May. And probably I'll rock up at AlgoRhythms on the 6th and show it off a bit there. And then I need to actually release the tool, and see what cool things other people can do with it (almost certainly better things than I can do with it).
Okay, that's it for now. Time to get back to adding features to it while sitting on the floor of a train on the way to Copenhagen.
