the do lab’s collaborative cross-media experiment

we’re embarking on a new experiment for the winter issue of the do lab artist network publication. looking for animators/ motion graphics/ v-fx artists to participate.

full info here:

For the past year we have been producing a quarterly arts publication showcasing the diversity of artistic expression within, and relevant to, the Do LaB’s community. For our forthcoming issue we seek to spotlight the creative output from various sonic creators combined with that of visual effects, motion graphics, and animation artists.

Many talented musicians have submitted original music, and we are now seeking the rockstar visual artists in our midst interested in creating an interpretation, accompaniment, or re-envisioning of the music through THEIR eyes to complete this collaborative, cross-media experiment.

We are calling this an experiment because we have never attempted to do anything quite like this before, and are just as curious as you to discover where such a project can lead and what kind of dynamic creations it can inspire.

The end-results of this collaboration will be distributed to the Do LaB database and beyond, as well as screened at one of our upcoming events.

If this project sounds like something you would like to participate in, you can get all the info HERE.

the digital band

boreta, ooah, edIT, kraddy

four guys on keyboards does not a band make, but when they’re laptop keyboards it’s a whole new breed of musical act.

last night the glitch mob dutifully slayed the LA crowd at the kingking on hollywood blvd. it was the first time in a long time (too long) that all four members played together. with half the band based in san francisco and half in l.a., plus a highly modular performance aspect, getting to hear the whole ensemble together is a significant treat, and for reasons beyond simple logistics.

in a genre known for solitary performers (djs), or, at most, duos (daft punk, justice, juniorsenior) a dynamic team of performers creating the music experience is practically unheard of.

i’m betting this new incarnation of a “band” for digital age is a sign of things to come.

and since you’re curious, check out the mob’s mix on xlr8r.com.
