Music Is Not Pollution
I’m reposting this as part of the ProjectXPresents collectives effort to raise some awareness of the issues being caused by the carelessness of developers, and the callousness of council environmental health officers.
The skinny is on the PXP blog here
Inner Circle Photography Project
This is currently on display on the middle floor of the Mailbox underneath the escalators, pretty cool but stashed away where no one might find it.
Drop Beats Not Bombs
It’s official, I’m going to be performing visuals at Drop Beats not Bombs on November 8th at the Rainbow in Digbeth. I’m just waiting to hear which set I’m going to be doing but hopefully it’ll either be some awesome breaks or some nice chilled out electronica.
You can find the full line up at www.dropbeatsnotbombs.co.uk tickets are £10 and well worth the money.
PXP IV The Aftermath
On Saturday evening the forth Project X Presents took place at BusK on Gough Street. Despite the owner being a bit twitchy when we turned up with what appeared to be a pile of scrap, and boxes of equipment, by dress rehearsal they where just as excited as us.
In the end I performed visuals for SubSource as well as taking part in the VJ mashup during Marc Reck’s set at the end of the night. After clearing up the downstairs room, I finally got home at 7.30 on Sunday morning.
This was the first time I’ve VJ’d with my own content previously I’d only used Leons stuff, it was quite an awakening although I had what I beleived to be plenty of material I soon ran out and was recycling and using filters like crazy. My new rule of thumb, work out what you think you may need and double it. This means that I’m going to be clipmaking for quite some time trying to build up a collection of unique material.
PXP Venue Sneek Peek
Wonder what the venue for the next Project X Presents show looks like before the madness starts? You do! Fantastic. We had the second of two visits to the venue last Wednesday and have sorted out some of the arrangements whilst there. Theres going to be two rooms with our guests entering through the smaller downstairs “chill out” space then moving up to the main room. Dave Moore who is the appointed geezer in charge of the venue and one of our ace soundmen showed us around and even let us have a mooch in the beer store, mind you we were only looking at the electricity supply (Honest guv).
I’ve uploaded some photos from the first visit to my gallery here …
