Crossover of Senses V @ MoS

Performance + Visuals

The fifth and final instalment of Crossover of Senses series is done. This marks the end of a 5 month project to create visuals at Ministry of Sound in 2007. We are discussing of the next year and seems that its going to happen. Overall the feedback has been very positive.

The November night was also 16th Birthday party for Ministry of sound, and you might guess the place was packed. I was VJing alone for the whole 7 hours. Can say that is heavy man...Glad that I had my love and live, the beautiful Jade next to me.

Thanks to all the 10.000 clubbers and VJs:
VJ Movement
VJ Bopa
VJ Supergas
VJ Shakinda
VJ Hudson

Crossover of Senses IV @ MoS

Performance + Visuals

The fourth instalment of Crossover of Senses series is done. We experienced some problems with the staging and ended up changing the rigging to face the balcony with 3 canvases. Did work well, so will stage the last one with the same design.

For the October night we had VJ Shakinda all the way from Belfast. Just week before his visuals were displayed at Gallery Yurijo and this time we had the pleasure to enjoy them with the best club sounds in the world. He is very much on the beat and takes ques live. Shakinda's technical knowledge was amazing, so all thumbs up for him. Though he had some rather raw violence pieces and some preaching which I personally think do not fit a club environment. Myself, I tried to be influenced on what he did and followed the line being very on the beat. Did ok.

Crossover of Senses III @ MoS

Performance + Visuals

The third instalment of Crossover of Senses’s NEICO series is done. I've had a turmoiling month so it was pleasant to get my steams out with a bit of VJing. Especially I have to thank all the budding visual creators who have come out and generated interest to perform on the series. You all rock!

For the September night we had Anna Boberg aka VJ Bopa returning with her awesome visuals. I must say she is not titled as the world's foremost female VJ for nothing. Perfectly in beat, colourful and full of motion. Second slot was for Rodrigo Dutra aka VJ Supergas, who is a rising star from Brasil. Nice visuals, especially the dancing scenes from old films. Only thing is that sometimes beat matching was lacking a bit, though that might not have been his aim at all. Myself, I concentrated on closing the night with some dark, trippy visuals pulsating on the screen. I didn't even try to tell anything deep to the already fucked up audience.

Crossover of Senses II @ MoS

Performance + Visuals

On Sat we had the second instalment of Crossover of Senses's NEICO series. The week leading for the night was very busy and I have to admit that my production responsibilities were lacking a bit. In addition, the limited time forced me to get on mixing without proper planning and preparation. However, good note is that we were mentioned in a TimeOut feature about London's AV scene, along Addictive TV and VJ Anyone. Check it out here.

For the August night we had Ed Shaw aka VJ Movement. He is a resident of Godskitchen in Birmingham and VJ promoter of Global Gathering festival. Really cool dude and has awesome graphical VJ style. The style might not be the most interesting from storytelling point of view, but the changes and pulsating speed fits really well to a club environment. Myself did a couple of hours of using "Global Cool" visuals, though, as mentioned, was not prepared enough so personally wasn't a great set. Feedback was really good however, so seems that people enjoyed it.

Crossover of Senses @ MoS

Performance + Visuals

On Sat we had the launch night of a monthly performance at Ministry of Sound. I seem to tie myself a lot with the famed club, which I don't mind actually. It has been my second home in London and when the club is rocking it is really good. For the Crossover of Senses, we created a platform for an audio-visual experience.

Each staging will see me, VJ Hudson, with a specially selected headline guest. For the July night we had Anna aka VJ Bopa. She is the top female VJ in the world and has nice glamourous graphical style, with a lot of references to the Scandinavian design style. For my own set, I used a lot of themes from the Global Cool performance a week earlier, though mixed it with "Live Your Dream" approach. "Be Cool and Live Your Dream".

My time is becoming increasingly limited, due to a nice new development with MoS. I'm doing more and more on the visual side of the club...I'm writing this from the MoS offices and got to get back to work. Later ya'll.
