Coldcut's Energy Union


The Energy Union show is an all-new Coldcut  production - a ground-breaking piece of live activist cinema.

The music is  a 'Journeys by DJ' style approach: a genre-tripping montage of musical delights woven together by the acknowledged Ninja masters of the eclectic electric mash-up.  The music features an orchestral element, a score performed by a live string section, adding a human dimension to the hi-tec funkativity.

The visuals -a mix of borrowed, contributed footage and custom animation - use the music mix as a foundation to build a narrative in 4 sections:
Celebration, Caution, Solutions, Action. Coldcut as AV Daddies transmogrified techniques from the DJ world and created scratch montage.  The visuals will be presented on a custom giant black screen, this being part of the 'Project Black' initiative: a number of techniques to achieve a projection effect  beyond the screen.

The aim is to vibe people up with a super positive and inspirational new approach to ecopolitics using next gen audiovisual tricknology.

Many of the Energy Union gigs are free /subsidised as the project is EU sponsored! Finally, a decent use of your Eurotaxes... so this is a unique chance to catch both Coldcut brothers in Europe this summer ...join the party, save the world and get Energised.

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

Dancefloor hooligans Coldcut join forces with Americas leading audio-visual vigilante TV Sheriff to bring you an election vivisection…Revolution '08.

A drum+bass powered all-out AV assault on an American media machine now in psychotic overdrive for the Presidential election. A 10000-frame crash edit comedy celebration of the blatant corruption, warmongering, florid insanity and plain good old smelly bullshit that characterises the cultural landscape of the world's most confused country. 21st century satire is alive and well. THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW.

You think itʼs bad here; spare a thought for the Japanese banking sector. In the last 7 days:
Origami Bank has folded
Sumo Bank has gone belly up
Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut many of its branches
Karaoke Bank was sold for a song
Samurai Bank has suffered sharp cutbacks
Ninja Bank took a big hit but remains in the black
500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop
The staff at Sushi Bank say they got a raw deal and claim something fishy is going on

Tomorrow night we are playing alongside Jade Jagger at the launch of London first eco- club... SURYA

"Surya will put its stake in the ground as the first ever-ecological club on the planet, a flagship venture and a pioneer of ecological excellence.

o The club will have a unique dance-floor, combining materials such as quartz crystals, ceramics, cutting edge technology and the dancing motion of clubbers to generate part of the club's energy requirements.
o A wind turbine and a solar energy system will make the club fully sustainable
o An advanced alternative energy system so effective that it will produce a surplus of electricity, which will be freely donated to the private residents closest to the building.
o The club will also be installing the latest air flush, waterless urinals, low flush toilets and automatic taps to ensure maximum water saving plus the latest innovations in ecological air conditioning units."

This is a piece done a couple of years ago which somehow got forgot. Its not quite finished, goes on a bit at the end, but still rocks we think. The theme, apart from the obvious one of defining video breakbeats (thank you Mr Tony Royster) , is to explore AUDIOVISUAL EFFECTS. That is, taking an audiovisual clip and applying an audio effect eg echo to the audio stream, and a video effect eg feedback to the video stream. VJamm3, freeframe effects and a Kaos pad2 were used to do this. Check out that acid bassman...this is the real acid jazz.


Acid Base



Hope you enjoy.
