sound.transmission.light – Berlin, Tokyo & Sydney

| March 16th, 2010

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.

Solfa

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!

Eiemon

| January 13th, 2009

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.
