Excuse the last minute repair on the screen. Bass players with big necks swing violently and take out the VJ’s gear. XO bass player.

AVicious and DJ Edgartronic in the X1FM studios August 7th. This show was fun. People started bringing in coolers of refreshments and danced their asses off while Edgartronic and I threw it down from the stage. As soon as they get the edit done on this show I will post up the video. It was hot as hell in there for a bit and I think I went threw 2 shirts or so but it was worth it to mix it up with DJ Edgartronic again. Word is we may be booking up some shows in the near future. We will keep you up to date on when that is going down.

From VJVault.com:
Morris La Mantia or more commonly known in the VJ circle as Lucid House has been mixing it up for years with his own custom loops and remixed samples. His latest piece posted offers a nice colorful splash of his surreal work mixed with audio and visual film samples. Taking it a step further Lucid House gives credit where due and lists his bits and pieces. Kudos!

I have been hoping for someone to come out with something like this for some time. To be perfectly honest I have never been a strong coder. My background is in production with a good amount of editing. Graphics and patch based coding programs have only recently been thrust into my world by the neccessity to make AVicious’ visuals better and more interesting. To have a book on QC coming out soon makes me happier than a pig in shit. Nice to see the US/Euro tag team on this one. Can’t wait.

From Shakinda’s blog:
This book and DVD shows the full potential of Quatz Composer, from taking a complete novice through the software setup process and getting to grips its interface, all the way to enabling the modelization of complex 3d audio reactive environments, midi interaction, to retrieving online database information.

VJ PANELS/WORKSHOPS:
SATURDAY 8/8 – 2:35pm – LaSalle Room – Part I – Intro to VJ’ing
SUNDAY 8/9 @ 1:15pm – LaSalle Room – Part II – Technique

Description:

How do you play the same venues with the same lights as everyone else and hope to stand out from the crowd? The divide between music and video performance is blurring at a rapid pace. Many of the tools and techniques that were once out of price range are now available to the average consumer and creative people are latching on to create an entirely new industry right under our noses. Today s Visualists & VJs are time-based improvisational artists that draw from filmmaking, music, design and coding to create their work. Panelists will be discussing what it takes to become a visual performer, current hardware & software of the trade and how to increase the production value of your performance with a few simple tools you probably already have.

Panelists: John-Ryan Shea (AVicious), Jeremy Glaholt (AVicious),
Matthew Molarius (Transfer & Obscure Magpie) and Matthew Fraynd (Glorybound Productions).
