Fresh 20 minute video demo posted. The audio is from the ‘world’s heaviest dubstep’ compilation - provenance unknown but the mix of ‘wayfaring stranger’ that kicks it off is brilliant. It’s a live video recording and best viewed fullscreen.

Several months and a variety of huge life-altering events later it’s time for me to pick this project up and dust it off. If you know what’s happened, you don’t need an explanation, and if you don’t know it probably doesn’t matter too much anyway.
The important thing is that the game is afoot.
There are updates to upcoming events in the calendar section and more things to come.
In the meantime, here are some photos of Swarm in the recent Vancouver Celtic Parade.

The Burn Bc event at the Waldorf was a lot of fun - video projected large style on a white wall and drums and fire.
Also a flyer has gone out for the upcoming 12 Minutes Max event at the Firehall arts centre in Vancouver. Swarm will be premiering KounterKlockWerk - a new kinetic drum piece with banging and spinning and bungee throws. Much fun. (click flyer image for a larger version)

I’ve put a 90 second extract of some of my experimentation with Maya Deren’s Mediation on Violence. Hosting is at the excellent Fullscreenmusic.com, a resource for vj’s and motion graphics nerds.
Click the image below to see the video. It’s best watched full screen.

the audio portion is by local Van-city soundsystem killers sub-osc.

Kraftwerk off the top and another version (slightly less germanic) after the jump.
George: Who are you then?
User: Who am I when?
George: He is a moviestar and he’s home right now.
User: That’s a cryptic utterance.
George: Well, I live in a crypt.
User: That sounds damp.
George: Divine knowledge is sometimes dangerous.
User: Under what circumstances is diving knowledge dangerous?
George: Under no circumstances.
User: You have a curious affinity for paradox.
George: I know thank you yours is not so bad either.
