LIVE VISUALS | GIGS | FILM REMIX
In my live visuals performance I mix and remix video, usually stuff I filmed and created myself. Other times I might use archive footage or samples that I work on in my live sets. I often use mix media and live camera feeds, for example in Transient Forms, a live painting performance, using slide and video on multiple projections.
I also use pre-edited film remixes in live sets bringing new associations to my own films and other films I admire. Some of my work has an activist feel to it, bringing important messages into the dancefloor, as it is the case with Earth: our home or the improvised jam with Ninja Tune bellow, using images of my activist documentary Give us Space, about the housing crisis in London.
I love to work visually in interaction with music. I also create music videos. Here are a few photos of gigs and a few video examples (scroll down!). Note that some of the live performances demos are recorded live without sound.

TRANSIENT. This is a little demo of the 40 min gig with live techno by Audio Dependent aka Tim Cowie (Light Surgeons) at AVTV at the Hackney Wicked Festival in 2013. Thanks to Malcolm for filming the gig with my tiny camera. I did the visuals live with fresh paintings painted/projected/filmed specially for this gig! this was the first time I did 'Transient Forms' performance all on computer and HD. Read more
NINJA JAMM. This is a video of the collective Ninja Jamm or also called Elephant Jamm I had the honor to participate - with Matt Black from Coldcut / Ninja Tune, and Pete ElasticEye, Matt Sharp and lots of other people in a one day workshop on Projection Mapping at Hotel Elephant, in 2014. I'm doing the live visuals on the screen on the left, remixing footage about my housing crisis activist project Give us Space. Read more
VISUALS & AV performance on stage
ON THE ROAD and RUN-FLY are 2 excerpts of a 4 hours VJ set live performance at the benefit massive party 'Push Play', at Egg London, March 2013. This was a benefit gig for our friend Sonia and Anthony Nolan Trust. Organized by Botchit & Scarper label. Read more
I used Millumin (as VJ software), in super bright colourful LED screens ** the videos are silent - Syphon records without sound. I was playing along with the Djs
'Bombs or dying for a week' was an experimental theater piece inspired by a tumor, the edge, the inner scream; with women about to explode! These are excerpts of some of the videos created which were projected on stage using mobile pocket-projectors handled by the actors. **the videos are silent as they were part of the live show. This was a collaboration with Susana Vidal and B Negativo Teatro. Susana invited me to create the videos for her stage performance. The challenge was that we would do it using the internet and new media and work between London and Lisbon. The videos were recorded through Skype and manipulated/re-created/edited in London.
