Pixelpusher and The Cane Toads at Shunt

The Cane Toads at Shunt 1 Oct 2009

The Cane Toads at Shunt 1 Oct 2009

The Cane Toad Orchestra featuring PixelPusher (or so I like to call it) is playing Shunt next Thursday, Oct 1, 2009, as part of Toplap’s Livecode stage.  That’s right, we’ll have no choice but to make some livecoded music and visuals, and that means sonic and visual anarchy of the most chill quality, kind of like a nice late-season muscat dessert wine, full of bite but thick with sweetness like a long summer day.  (I think that was a triple-simile, and I might have twisted my ankle landing that one.)

visuals. All code manipulation is projected for your pleasure.

Special guest SATBack provides a glimpse into the future of VJing. His
multi-touch-screen VJ system VPlay is a new paradigm of VJ interaction. Designed for collaboration, it gets the VJ out from behind the laptop, and allows the audience to get involved. Clips, effects, mixers and more can be dragged and linked on-screen to create dynamic visual flows. Direct from the lab, this pioneering prototype showcases the dramatic possibilities of surface computing.

This month’s Electrovision also features Pixelpusher, whose kaleidescopic
moving montages are accompanied by Cheju’s new album Broken Waves, for which he recently created 2 music videos.

Motion graphic designer Paul Mumford [Labmeta] gets out his microscope, to present an experimental DJ/VJ set on life at the nano-scale, featuring the secret life of particles.

Relaxed live cinema from Bassik+Pz blurs the boundaries between film and
VJing, with The_Brandy_Alexander_Project set to electronic dub.

Finally Oli Sorenson [VJ Anyone] provides a DVJ grand finale, which includes
the very latest AV single from his label Ne1co.
