New digital and analog hybrid glitch workflow & a reminder that Red Line is one of the greatest anime ever created! If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and change that.

Hi! It's been a hot minute. How are you? I'm F A B U L O U S. Thanks for asking 😌

Popping by to deliver some pictures from my collaboration with my friend @liyaa_29 Playing with Fire, a couple weeks ago. It was a cute night at a truly beautiful space. Thank you to everyone that helped make the event happen and to those that attended ❤️❤️

Announcements:
1. This Thursday from 6-10pm I'm playing @bad.sauna in Pittsburg! Not only is this my return to one of my favorite cities, but also a truly unique opportunity. I'm playing both recorded music and doing some live experimentation! It'll truly be a wonderful mind-body-spirit experience (maybe with some bangers, vibe permitting) 🥰

2. I'm releasing my short film in collaboration with @affect.av this Friday at 12pm EST on YouTube and Dailymotion! I know it's been quite a while since the film release party back in October, but I'm super proud of this project and excited to share it with all of you! Don't worry about setting a notification or anything, trust that I'll remind you hehe 😉

So many more wonderful developments soon. Spring mode is activated!! 🌞🌱🌸🌼🐇🦋🪿🌈

Next month is going to be utterly insane!

4/10 = First up, we'll be celebrating 9 years of @sidestage_collective with a total mystery bill.4 artists from 3 different countries who have played Sidestage shows over our time as a collective thus far! Because the rave is about why we gather, not who we gather for.Come for the sound, stay for the vibe.

I'll be cooking up a unique visual display to fit the theme and obscure the artists to the audience to maintain the mystery in real time :)

4/11 = I'm heading back to @cosiscience to project an all original audiovisual set with my dude @oogamusic! I can't wait to play around on that screen again :))) it's so fun and I am honored to have the opportunity to explore a 7 story tall canvas with arrangements and compositions that only truly translate at that scale.Big ups to @alchemy_sessions for having me out!

ARTIST & VJ SPOTLIGHT // Supporting VCTRE @cosiscience iMax theater👁️🎞️🌌🎬👾🌐🔊

@oogamusic // From the Bay Area, California, Ooga uniquely fuses funky rhythms and soulful instrumentation with crunchy, dynamic bass design and punchy drums. With a mastery of groove, melodics, and production caliber, he has turned big heads in the electronic music scene. Well-known for his electrifying DJ sets and captivating stage presence; on special occasions showcases incredible live electric guitar skills.

His latest EP’s "What Makes It Work" and “Caveman” have been causing a buzz, and has recently smashed his performances at festivals such as Lightning in a Bottle,
Infrasound, Sound Haven, The Untz, Submersion, and more. He has also played big support slots for acts such as Mickman, Resonant Language, and Cool Customer.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

@affect.av // Josh Goldfarb, also known as Affect, is a Columbus based audiovisual installation artist, live performance VJ, and experiential curator whose experimental works draw heavily from his interests in technology, animation, low frequency sound, and activism.

His visual works primarily employ the use of multiple CRT displays, blending cutting edge digital processing with nostalgic source material and effects, meticulously glitching and distorting video in order to further explore the supportive relationship between synchronicity and experience creation.

Some excerpts from @hudsonleemusic and my AV showcase this past weekend at @cosiscience!

A project like this is something I remember talking to Hudson about when we first met, so it was very surreal to see it come to fruition in such a way and for such a great cause!

By the end of the night, we raised over $4500 for @thesameerproject to provide aid to the Palestinian people suffering from the genocide in Gaza.

Especially now, at a time when everyone I know and love has less disposable income to give and social division seems to be growing exponentially, to be in a room full of open-minded, empathetic, and caring folks reminded me that there are good people out there and we have to support each other every chance we can.

Mutual aid is not charity, it is solidarity for a common goal.

First time trying some new routing that lets me run independent video feeds to each CRT from one source.

Been something I thought would work, in theory, for a while now, but it feels good to see it actually up and running.
