[Lefty Frizzell]

i was there last week and enjoyed the music and laffs.

 

[Wheels]

Some of us guys's from Del9 are djing at this tomorrow so please come down. If anyone got the FES mailout saying that we'd be screening our Frameworks short STARS, that won't now be going ahead now. We may rustle up some other visuals, but come down for th' tunes man. Oh and I think they serve booze there too.

i was at a so called visuals festival in london this weekend. most of the visual made me physically ill. some were good though.

and the barman seemed to slyly give me triples instead of doubles

He was obviously gay for you.

that did cross my mind. but i kept going back for more.

you could dj! it's all a scam, you just play records! just make sure you hold the headphones up to one ear and do the spinny thing with the decks every few minutes and have a 'don't disturb me, i'm concentrating' face on ya, and everyone's all 'oooooooh, impressive' and 'mmm, i know this one'.

You little tart.

Have already perfected this, am doing it right now...

 

[Bag'o'cans]

please do.

here i go, I find the whole concept of "visuals" quite frustrating. In college i loved timing animation, shapes, colours blah blah to a piece of musics beat and mood, now every joe soap is cutting up bits of "cool" films and making stuff in winamp (it generates itself!) thinking they're artistic genius video artists and all there friends go wow. Unless it's mere mood your looking for from a lava lamp projector or a disco ball how can visuals accompany music without both upsetting eachother unless it's colaborated and timed to the music and its mood.

Like someone said previously, think it was mondobrutale, about a gig where they played koyanisquatsi to their own music, it makes no sense!

sorry, maybe i'm just bitter cos i'm lazy and not out there doing it, maybe it's unfortunate luck alot of the visuals i've seen were just plain shit, i don't know what your setup is, it's not a potshot at anyone.
What's the criteria when somebody is doing visuals for these?

Are you jarvis cocker?

 

[Bag'o'cans]

maybe i've come across to purist, it's way to much time and effort to collaborate on everything, well, it's nigh imposssible, i don't hold it against a small regular event in a pub to put on visuals, i should be more supportive, but i think a lava lamp projector or some christmas lights would do ten times the job of some peoples efforts. I think whats actually getting my goat was a friend with no visual awareness recently telling me about their plans to cut up some bits of films for a festivals "visuals", ahh, i think this self help therapy session has found the roots of my problems.
