Download: Soulwax - New York Excuse
While lurking the net for more information on a band I like called Soulwax I stumbled upon a rather unique site. Before you enter you must click through various video loops with sound arranged that gives the user a little taste of the action. Check it out Soulwax.com The site is intense and so are these fellas! The drummer Steve Slingeneyer performed about two weeks ago at Webster Hall where I reside as the in house DJ. It was hanging with this fellow that got me more interested in the band.
After meeting Steve and checking out their site I decided to do some experimenting of my own. I truly liked the interaction the user has mixing video and sound. This is a method known as slip queing, you may notice each loop restarts and moves on at the right time. Pay attention to the track structures; careful phrasing can make the mix almost seamless.This past Friday night I set out to take as much live footage as i could to see if I could potentially apply it to my project. Check out the video beow featuring Xavier De Rosnay of Justice as he tears it up.
It might be a lot of fun to go little more abstract. This piece here created by Michael Dzjaparidze was his first attempt to create an audiovisual piece in Jitter. The sounds are made and manipulated with my own granular application build in Max/MSP.
