Video ‘flyers’ seem to be popping up on YouTube more and more these days but this one for the upcoming show in Melbourne is pretty damn creative so we thought we’d get it up on here.
Mash up of clips from Cheeba and Mr Nice
Video Vault
Videos: Moving pictures with sound. That’s two of your five senses being tickled at once. Bonus!
Below are a wealth of videos showing Cheeba’s apperances, productions and ideas from projects that have been put on the back burner as well as some pieces that have no purpose other than to amuse and entertain. There are also many of the videos that have gone on to become part of Cheeba’s 2009 Audio Visual turntable show. So, force your eyes open with matchsticks, pump up the volume and “Enjoy this trip… and it is a trip!”
Since artists like Hex began introducing visual arts into nightclub environments the art of the VJ has moved on many leaps and bounds. These genre defining artists showed us very early on the possibilities and enhanced enjoyment of presenting media to stimulate the eyes as well as the ears at a rave. Pioneers like this have also been instrumental in the development and progress of, not only the visual aspect but also, its relation to sound and the mediums which can control them. One aspect of this development has been the rapid evolution of vinyl emulation software which has now brought about means to enable the manipulation of video files by using regular turntables and vinyl records that play a control tone. This means DJs can now scratch, mix and juggle videos with sound in the same way they would with normal records with no latency and incredible stability.
Cheeba uses and endorses Serato Video SL which works as a plug-in for the hugely popular Serato Scratch Live software along side the Rane TTM57 SL mixer. For more details on this software and how it works click on the image below. “Word to the nerds…” what will they come up with next?
