Domestic Techno Inspection IX

Last Saturday 25th Feb we VJ'ed in Kotimaan Teknokatsaus IX or Domestic Techno Inspection IX at Kuudes Linja in Helsinki. Our VJ duo, VJ Vixen, doesn't get to perform together a lot, so it was good to partner up for this. Our gig was one of many DJ+VJ combos which allowed a catch up with other VJs and their current work too.

We made the visuals for a new kid in town, Latmos, who's set was hard as diamonds. It was good to see a lot of new faces on the stage, the future of Finnish techno seems to be in safe hands. Inspection completed and passed.

Church of Rock

Each summer seems to be shorter, the older you get. Been meaning to post about this for nearly two months but been too busy wondering in the wilderness before the winter comes.

I had the privilege to do lighting for an electronic music concerts in the Church of Kallio (translates as Rock) in Helsinki. The architecture not allowing for a complicated technical setup it felt better to work with the natural light. Using two different type of smoke machines I was able to create an atmosphere to the space that beautifully revealed the beams of late summer sun. To keep it simple I added only one follow-spot to bring out the performers.

Apparently the church hasn't been so busy for years.
