sound.transmission.light is an audio responsive artwork developed in Berlin and combines light & video projection together with a unique paper panel construction. The transmission of light through the naturally dyed paper has beautiful properties and gives character to the light and video; a fusion of organic and digital is the outcome.

The project is a collaboration between Australian artists On-Yau Lui (based in Berlin) & Richard Byers (Sydney) and local musicians, In Tokyo, Yukiko Tsuda, Mayumi Ishida & Marimi Morito, in Berlin Felix Haenel, and in Sydney, John Maddox, Wayne Wormald, Danny Graham & Mark Piccles. The artwork responds to audio played by the musicians and creates an intimate performance of music, surface & light.

The artwork has been presented in Berlin & Tokyo in 2009 and is now being performed in Sydney.

Last night i had a VJ performance at Solfa, a club in Nakameguro, Tokyo. nice little club, bit smokey, but they all are here. Nice all concrete look, with good dim lighting and friendly people. I remixed Kubrick’s The Shining to a DJ’s music..  i never met the DJ though..  he was across the room from me. and when i finished, he was gone. Himuro played next and rocked the floor. Thanks for inviting me Himuro!

I have been asked to VJ at an club night with my friend Himuro Yoshiteru in Nakameguro on the 27th January. for more info see my Superlight site here

I met Eiemon a few weeks ago, on the street in a random wandering. She sells handmade goods from her bike. She makes the bags and purses etc. from a fabric from the area around Kyoto. i bought one of her bags, and had a small chat in broken english and my very bad japanese. she was a very happy lady it seems. you might see her in Sydney one day selling her craft from her bike even.

flight was ok, stop over in Cairns was ok, but hot, met a banker from Sydney on the flight, she was going skiiing in Niseko, Hokkaido, and then after tokyo arrival, i met a Japanese woman who offered to help me find right train, she had a dog called Jack, and she liked Ken Done.. then after lugging my excess baggage to hotel i was exhuasted and slept from 9pm to 8am..  now i’ve had a cheap breakfast, checked my emails and ready to go out into the cold.brrr…
