Glitch
A circle in 12 parts: Pisces
My guest for Pisces this year was unwell unfortunately and rather than put pressure on them to participate, or try and find another with little time for preparation, I decided to take another break from working with guests and use the time once again to revisit work created in the first circle.
This is a live remix of the 2020 Pisces mix. Played on a laptop it goes through a HDMI – AV converter and on into circuit-bent analog video processors and into an analog capture device in Resolume Avenue.
Towards the end of the original recording I started using morphagene to take samples and mix them in. I let the video loop to explore this for a while.

An experiment made during the Euro 2020 final with a Commodore 64 game cassette, databent video and live processed audio
Circular Process #1
Circular Processes
A visual remix
An echo of the audio remix process exploring ways of reusing and processing the visuals.
I remember trying a few databending techniques some years ago with little success, not sure what has changed and it did take a bit of effort, but this went wild!
Corrupt Royals #1 – Glitching the colour
Databent vintage video with improvised sound from a broken vintage record player (Hacker Centurion MkII) and a 1964 record of trooping of colour.
Mixes at an Exhibition
I was invited to create a live mix for the opening of Strange Eden, an exhibition of work by James Moore in Oriel Mwldan Gallery, Cardigan.
Records were selected in response to the work on display and following a few conversations with James ahead of the event.
Records used include: Tomita – Pictures at an Exhibition; Emerson, Lake and Palmer – Pictures at an Exhibition; Debussy – La Mer; Jean Michel Jarre Live; BBC Sound Effects No6; RCA Home Movie Sound Effects; Landscape III – You Know how to Hurt me; Top Gun OST; I also used a cassette tape of VU-3D for Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Loops were found randomly from the records using bits of wire to hold the tone arms.

Really enjoyed trying out these records and incorporating the VU-3D Sinclair Spectrum cassette…

Records at an Exhibition
Really looking forward to playing some records for the opening of this exhibition by James Moore.
We met some weeks ago for some tea and a chat about ideas and how to select records and devise a new performance work for the exhibition opening. I am developing quite a diverse selection.. likely to include some synth classics as well as BBC sound effects, the Top Gun soundtrack and Michael Jackson’s Bad.
