Go Down

 

Brain Frame 4 happened last month, and it was the last time I'll be performing at Brain Frame in a while. Partially because I need a break from simultaneously orchestrating an entire show and composing my own multimedia extravaganza to reveal at said event, and partially because I've kind of run out of comics. The piece I performed last month was Go Down, from Chromazoid issue 1. I built the slideshow into a video file using Final Cut, and added a second projection - an oval of light, shifting and flashing colors, to be projected on me as I sat on a ladder in a white dress. I had a V20 looping pedal, into which I programmed about 12 different voices, to create layered soundscapes as well as voices for each character and magic crystal sounds.

I've posted parts of the comic before, but I was holding out on showing the whole thing because I wanted you guys to support Chromazoid. Now that Chromazoid is a reality, I'm happy to share the entire comic, and hopefully you'll like it enough to go out and purchase your own copy.

UPDATE: Here is the video of a more recent (and superior) performance, at The Burlington on July 12th, 2012. The original video, from Brain Frame 4, is below that.
