garry spacepope, cardinal of tomorrow. need i say more?
volta’s xrcam remains a wonder. like the diarama earlier, visuals that were perfectly fit for purpose.

doing visuals at insieme has been a shared endeavour. henry rolls took care of friday, with saturday for “szolnok and *spark”. this is new! i’ve been collaborating with local friend and talent zsolt, it’s been a pleasure. we tag-teamed the night. he rocked it – shown. we rocked it – szolnok and *spark.

did the fuel piece. nice memory of the crowd locked in to tipper’s ‘tug of war’, the fuel records 12” catalogue animating along, and in that moment connecting back to when i record-shopped one of them before i had any idea it was a fuel release, or what that might come to mean for my life.
lots of good feedback, beyond the specifics people really enjoyed the change of pace. or rather, the same pace / bpm, but a different focus and format; a kind of palate cleanser between two nights of djs.
plus, i often say part of the idea was simply to hear the music again on a club PA, and at insieme i got to live that: jumped down from the stage and grabbed half a minute of utopia in front of lawrence’s sweet soundsystem – “gramp’s hi-fi”.

saturday night: time to get to work. early evening, three hours: terrain take over the festival. insieme had commissioned a skinny gud illustration for the poster, and it came out great. happily, the scene it showed wasn’t too far from the ‘camp out’ world we shipped with volta create towards the end, so a palette-shift and some tweaks later here it is. fit for purpose, i thought: branding expanded into a diarama; slowly animating, reacting to the music, live feed on the screen in-scene.
friday night: some old friends, a new scene, the night yet young.

my interest was piqued when i found out a neighbour runs a micro-festival. i was sold when i saw a photo of the late-night barn: thick sound-absorbing stone walls, whitewashed and begging for visuals wrapping around the stage.
now having finally arrived in the dark wooded valley for a midnight rig, i’m looking very happily at two roughed-in projectors delivering on the promise.
