Pan Left Productions

This is a short excerpt from a live performance I presented at a multi-media event calledAutopoesis last June (under the name Charismatic Megafauna, one of my many stage names). The set was about 30 minutes and featured a collage of sound and video source material that I was manipulating and mixing in real time. I've finally got round to looking at the tapes and clipping out a bit of it for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

This is an edit of footage from the 2nd-to-last set of this year's Synaesthesia, on March 29. This set consisted of improvised music by Amy Rude, and improvised video by Steev Hise (me). I was using a software/hardware package called NuVJ, basically a small video mixing controller that has several buttons and knobs and faders, that controls the software, allowing me to manipulate and mix together various video clips stored on the computer.
