videos

There are three videos available from Elektrodome "Improvisions" a series of six real-time interactive music and video pieces. In "Improviosions" the technique - devised by Brian Johnson, and developed in collaboration with Edward Williams - is to relay to the musicians, playing in a sound studio, a series of video images generated by the artist at the same time in a separate studio.

These images are selected and mixed from a variety of sources - film photographs, solid objects on a revolving display, graphics of all kinds, including computer graphics programmes, and moving images form oscillographics generator designed and built by Brian Johnson himself. Video cameras in the sound studio contribute images of the musicians playing.

At the same time, the musicians' sounds are sent to the video studio, where voltages derived from pitch or amplitude are used to modify and colour images - and these changes are, of course, immediately seen by the players in the sound studio. So starts a recursive, inter-active collaboration in which Brian Johnson's images "inspire" the musicians and the musicians "play" the images!

"Impressions of Elektrodome" a compilation of short excerpts from Elektrodome's performances and workshops since 1990.

"Nu" is a dance piece with music generated by the dancers' movements in Soundbeam, first pefromed at The Place, London, England.

All videos are available from.
