What Artist do you strive to VJ with?

[krezrock]

For me it would probably be Spiritualized.


:not worth

[WordVirus23]

Aphex Twin... hands down the kookiest, mixed up musical sets I've ever heard.... would be a challenge to match his sonic mania. :) ....maybe Venetian Snares... ?

..james...
N:VP

[PilotX]

i'd love to do an old school hardcore night with acen playing live, or an acid house night with, well, anyone really.. frankie knuckles, larry levan, mike pickering, guy called gerald etc..

oh, if they didn't have it sorted so well for their music, Kraftwerk would have to be top of my list, and pink floyd..

[wellREDman]

Ive already realised one of my vj ambitions, when i vjed for steve hillage :)

other than that i think id like to do visuals for some old school reggae band, jimmy cliff or Aswad.

or an old school goth band like the Sisters of Mercy

[Lara]

Its crap but I'd kill to do an av set with Plaid. Or with some mad classical orchestra at the proms . . . that would be mental

[LEVLHED]

WEEN

[syzygy]

I would love to do a Live AV project with someone like Phillip Glass, or the composer (name escapes me) who put cellists in helicopters.

Dan.

[ernasty]

Pink Floyd.

[Mbazzy]

AV with ColdCut, Exceeda, Vjamm All Stars ....

[vjrei]

Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys

[twiki]

my dream is to one day vj with the tree records (www.mp3.com/tree_records)range of artists(plug,plug,plug!!!)check it out and you'll see why...................

[zeist]

nice cat :jump2:

[complexvisuals]

Done most of my favs so far

but I'd love Sppedy J. (live)


C

[bassy]

Nirvana sounds good enough for me.

[zap25]

*thinks*
I wouldn't mind lighting up Paris or Houson with Jean Michel Jarre once more.

Or maybe G.W.A.R. :D

[labmeta]

For me , in the electronic scene anyway - i think Kruder and dorfmeister.

Thats a long time dream.

[minimalniemand]

Anthony Rother

[robotfunk]

CAN or Holger Czukay, Bill Laswell, or Tom Tom Club would be excellent.
Failing that, Carl Craig or any project around the guys from Air Liquide.
Or Melted Men.

[krezrock]

CAN would be sweet! Intereting to see all the different flavors.

[unjulation]

well.............hawkwind or oasis would do it for me, dagy tho it may be but..............:o

[julez]

definately a project with squarepusher...he's got style and he's not as crazy as..say aphex twin

[k8eepants]

pink floyd cos they spend a fortune on production and give u artistic free reign...other than that i'd be more excited by a "where" opportunity than a "with whom"......glaciers would be good.....i used to build walls out of ice cubes to project on... a glacier would last longer.......or that ice festival in japan....name now forgotten.....

[InsideUsAll]

posted by julez: "definately a project with squarepusher"

we were doing visuals at the glade at glastonbury on the sunday night when square pusher was playing. Apparently he specifically asked for all lighting and visuals to be turned off! - they wanted to play in the dark!?

that same night i actually got to play with one of my all time heroes raja ram who was doing a DJ set after his live set with shpongle. He played a storming set too, Calve from inside-us-all actually broke his sandles dancing whilst VJ'ing.

The other two acts we've always wanted to play with are GMS [growling mad scientists] and Infected Mushroom. And I just took a booking to play with both of them in October & November.

sometimes the hard work does pay off! :D

[eXhale]

nice one dave, raja ram and infected mushroom are definitely on my "wishlist" :)

[Lara]

Heee he, Hawkwind, Unj..... :alien:

[unjulation]

theres nowt wrong in a bit of old-school alian invasion....:alien:

[krezrock]

Yes when Squarepusher played here he specifically told the promoters no visuals.

Hawkwind? is that Gavin Hardkiss's AKA? Gavin & Robbie are playing together in my hometown in two weeks... you can bet I'll be there with beamer blazing :)

[Akira]

Vitalic, The hacker, David Carretta, John Selway or Smash TV :D

[julez]

pffft:banghead: my respect for Tom Jenkinson is in freefall. Even if he had strobing lights a collaboration with the vj could have made it even better.

Damn i wish i lived in England...VJing is almost becoming mainstream. All the good visuals/artists/understanding promoters are over there:cool:

[Lucidhouse]

I don't realy have a wish list, anyone at the top of their art form, as long as they (dj's/musicians) respect you as an artist and not look down on you just because youre not pumping out music.

[Lara]

Christian Vogel mmmmmmmmmmmm:love:

[unjulation]

[charlielangridge]

I hear that Nemesis guy is damn kewl, i'd love to work with him ;)

CarlCox, JeffMills, AdamBeyer, CariLekebusch, KevinSaunderson, MarcoCarola, SpaceDJz... and so on... for now, we dont have a plans to do visulas for others than techno artists.... we found ourselvs in this scene...but we're prepairing us for GangstaRap band form my owm town... but as sombady already metioned - PinkFloyd, Laibach... and maybe somebody else...

[SilentEclipse]

Public Enemy...but back in the day....;)

[Liberatus]

and forgot to mentioned METALLICA... cause their lyrics are very political oriented... so while i listen to their albums.. i have a complete video performance in my mind...

[JodyDigitalMan]

Well, I have some well known DJs and live-acts on my list already but I would love to do visuals with at least one of the following:

1) Pan Sonic
2) The Residents
3) Laibach
4) Amon Tobin

last but not the least

5) Laurent Garnier

[jul35]

[Meierhans]

-Aphex
-Ural 13 Dictators (Say YEEES you`re ready for THIS. Say YEES only when you`re ready to die for it!!!)
-2RaumWohnung

[VJFranzK]

you've allready hit all my IDM favorites ;-)

I'd choose to VJ for my favorite rock, "the Doors", but using a full digital VJ rig teleported back to 1969 ;)

re: Boards of Canada - great! I've read they were originally a large collective including film loops and video artists (which is why they sample so many educational films! and got that name.) Never had the chance to see them, hear it's rare.

re: Squarepusher - No visuals when I saw him in LA (but before, a guy was running touch with Luke Vibert - one of you?)
all he had were strobing lights. wonder why?
1. he's probably obsessive about his music (all that amazing complexity!) and didn't want any external elements?
2. or wanted people to watch him play the 6 string jazz bass?
or 3. maybe it was about "Photic Driving"? ;) where the brainwaves are altered, even synched to music by flashes of bright light?

[Anyone]

if this question isn't strictly for musicians to collaborate with,
I would say doing visuals for Galliano at a Dior Fashion show...
Ne1

[Ghostdancer]

I gotta agree with Unj on Hawkwind.

Also Radiohead, Lab 4, Ministry, Christian Death, Justin Robertson, Death in Vegas. ..

Loads more to many to think of .:alien:

[nocternal]

mine is, and allways has been

the prodigy

back in the days of experience............:nod:

oh yes


noc

[3YE]

of course, noc.

for the record, Orbital (would require a time machine tho')

and for sheer breadth and depth of material it would require: the Orb/KLF

[djnada]

Eno, David Byrne, Bowie, in any order.

[Amukidi]

Isan, Roger and Brian Eno (Have worked with Roger many times, have a cunning plan to bring them together again!!).

[Anyone]

do peeps here only want to work with musicians?

how about dancers, non VJ visual artists, theatre groups...

Ne1

[matthecat]

crystal distortion

[simot]

have been lucky enough to do visuals for couple of people i would consider gods, onto the wishlist:

luke vibert
magda
british murder boys
villlalobos
hawtin as plastikman (!)
matthew dear
akufen
matthew johnson
robert hood
oscar mulero

the pixies
bjork
the dirty three

john coltrane (yeah, i know he's dead!), how good would it be to do visuals with improvised jazz. knackering but amazing i reckon.

would also love to one day have skills, knowledge, equipment, contacts & financial support to put together an interactive art installation.

thats enough for now!

[neoteo]

i cant believe im going to be first to talk about this guys

JOHN DIGGWEED

SASHA

LEE BURIGE

[samesame]

1.Richie Hawtin
2.Sven v?th
3.Johannes Heil
4.Underworld
5. The horrorist/Chris Korda (just for the nastyness? - you could get away with ANYTHING);)

[ui]

Gee, lots of varied responses, and I'm surprised a lot of them aren't DJs, but performance artists. I haven't had the opportunity to play across any performers other than house/techno DJs, and I never thought about where I would head if house fell of the earth as fast as disco...

It'd be interesting to find out what other performers would perceive to be a suitable visual accompaniment outside of a 4-minute music video.

Like one had mentioned John Coltraine...it would have been a real challenge to visualize all of the moods and nuances that came out in his solos. Take it to a level like Ornette Coleman and it leads me to believe that I'd have to have an infinite arsenal of moving pictures at my fingertips to cover them all.

So if I strive to do this to push and peak the art, then those opportunities would be the best. But I'd certainly take a gig with Mu-ziq.
