San Francisco Live DJ-VJ Performance Thursday May 26th
i've been downloading all these killer music videos and decided to make good use of the hours and hours of time i spend here in antville by performing an awesome set of the best i've found here and my secret MVD.
if you're in the san francisco area, do come through!!!
Wait, so you just downloaded a bunch of videos from antville and are going to show them at some...place? That's cool, I guess. You using a laptop and a projector or something? Also, that's my birthday.
yea! isn't it fucking stupid!! lol! =P
at night, i normally spin vinyl of old postpunk and deathrock now but use to do live electronic music and visual remixing a few years back (by day, i program music and record bands when not in a film or music video shoot).
i fucking love good, banned, and fugly music videos so i'm always junkin' here on antville as well as collecting resfest dvds and shit. so, when i was invited to play my girly's party, i didn't want to just play the same shit as everyone else. i put together a tight indie/electroclash/downtempo set based on the best mv's i've found.
i'm doing it the oldschool way...three video sources: (2) laptops; (1) vhs, and routed the video sends into a monitor and a 4 channel mixer that can cut, fade, chroma, and shit, while i have the audio sources patched into a dj mixer i have with turntables and cd mixers (for adding spice to the sound only). i don't plan to fuck up the videos much with self-indulgent effects...just enough to transition...that way i can still drink in the middle of the songs.
come through! it's your birthday? you and friends are on the list!!!

Sounds pretty great and I really appreciate you exposing people to what I imagine will be some high quality music videos. You should advertise antville maybe? Maybe.
I'd go but, I sort live in texas so it'd be a bit of a long drive.
yeah nice one, we do this kinda thing where i live in the uk. but we also do short film nights, its cool cos youre in a club or bar having a drink and watching quality moving image. always a good night out! good stuff :)
cool! yea, i was in the uk (london/bristol) a year and a half ago and was able to play on XFM live with this dj i met in tokyo. his name is nick luscombe and he hosted electronic music shows. i met him through a friend at a random yakitori pub and he said, 'if ever...' so i totally took him up to it! =D when i was on tour with resfest, i went for that shit!!!
i played a live p.a. set in the radio studio with a laptop and an external fx processor. i heard it was broadcasted online too with a live cam. he said in a conversation a year later that since i came to do that, they've had regular performers come in. i told him i'd be interested in coming to do an audiovisual show after he took me to some multimedia museum/bar place in picadilly(?)
i've lost contact with him though. but, that would be so fucking tight!!! a free ticket, beer, some quid, and a chance to represent san francisco would be so fucking awesome! hook it up!!
