BLACK ZENITH

"Black Zenith are Darren Moore & Brian O’Reilly. The duo performs using analog modular synthesizers & moving images. They produce dense sonic textures that generate live visuals through the transformation of audio signals into images. Black Zenith draws as much influence from noise music & the electroacoustic music tradition as they do from the foundations of abstract video art."

Fast Food Music Video.


This is a great idea I cant belivie more people haven't used this format! Fast Food Music Video is an experimental platform for DIY music video production and distribution. These videos were created entirely in real time using hacked analogue video gear and real-time mixing and editing. The effects are provided by Chris Ballint and the project itself is produced by Eric Barry Drasin and a whole host of other people listed on the projects tumblr.

Robert Cahen

Robert Cahen video artist, photographer and composer first developed his work as the result of his studies of electro acoustic composition with Michel Chion and Pierre Schaeffer at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique (CNSM) in Paris in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Cahen discovered and used the EMS Spectron in a series of video works he made in the late 1970s. He first worked with the an early French video processor called the Truquer Universel built by Francis Coupigny , Cahen began using the Spectron when he gained access to one whilst working at the INA (Institut National de l’ Audiovisuel), and produced Sans Titre (1977), L’Eclipse (1979), Trompe- l’oeil (1979) and L’ent’apercu (1980) he has gone on to produce many more interesting works and collaborations.

SUNDAY CINERAMA

On Sunday me and long time collaborator Gary McQuiggin  did a short audio visual performance using synthesizers and video feedback as part of my friend Rosa and Daf's amazing semi regular film night Sunday Cinerama at Total-Refreshment Centre, Also performing was my good friend Jerry Fleming who I also provided some impromptu live video for, Jerrys piece was simple and beautiful, Daf's band Dana Kunze did a stellar performance with an amazingly simple but affective video element filming the inside of a computer that was also a mic'd sound source for some of the textures processed through effects. After the live set there were films screened form some new artists as well as some visual music classics Jordan Belson, John Whitney, Sr ect, It was inspiring to watch these masters after my slap dash approach and makes me want to hone my aesthetic and performative skills further. thanks to T R Centre and Justin Houghton for the snaps and all the other band members and film makers for the fun.

Walter Schröder-Limmer


Walter Schröder-Limmer seems to be a German video artist and possibly composer responsible for some early video work and a notable collaboration with Benjamin Heidersberger who's father was responsible for early experiments in one of my other loves 'drawn sound' using his amazing series of harmonograph like machines the Rhythmogramm,  As far as I can tell Benjamin later went on to build an electronic version of the Rhythmogramm which also created amazing Lissajous patterns on an oscilloscope, it seems Walter Schröder-Limmer processed these images with an EMS Spectre and other studio equipment resulting in a series of collaborative videos. Walter Schröder-Limmer's work has also been featured more recently at an exhibition Record> Again! 40 Years of Video Art at Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe (ZKM) which I believe is part of  this project http://40yearsvideoart.de/main.php?p=3.
