DJ TENDRAW & THE GYPSY DOG live (London)
MOGINI / EACOTT (London)
Conceptual artist, writer, academic
and musician, Paul D.Miller aka DJ SPOOKY (THAT SUBLIMINAL
KID) is long established in New York's digital arts
scene. His music combines fusing a highbrow wit with
an infectious sense of whimsy, fusing cultures and ideas
for the digital age. Avant garde vinyl cut-up mixed
with his own digital beats from a lap-top, simultaneously
generating visuals. Expect anything from Senegalese
hip-hop to nu-jazz poetry in this post-modern sound
sculpture.
'Circuit bending' sound toys from scrap markets making
their 'own' instruments, DJ TENDRAW (Mic Shaw) and THE
GYPSY DOG (Patrick Thursby) remix Aphex Twin and Simon
& Garfunkel, showcasing their pirate radio work. A fetishisistic
and cathartic experience.
Fabrice MOGINI and John EACOTT perform live interactive
and generative musical processes with live sampling
and sequencing interfacing their laptops with electric
guitar and trumpet through custom built applications
in SuperCollider. The resulting music veers from messed
up breakbeats to boulez, miles davis and aphex twin.

VJ ANYONE
aka Olivier Sorrentino 'SINGLE'S BAR.01' soundtrack:
DJ James MacDonald
A video of looping sequences of flirting protagonists
involved in a serious dance floor session. The strobbing
effects never allow the viewer's gaze to grasp any given
character for more than a millisecond. They are submerged
in light, and not entirely sober...
