The Big Chill Gala last autumn featured a show credited to Hexstatic Visuals.
This featured the now-much-discussed "Natural Rhyhtm". (Of this I am sure as
I have the Atomic Moog CD single) and a second track, which featured abstract
graphic elements keyed into a track in the same way (but on a d&b track).
Both were stunning and Natural Rhythm raised a massive cheer from the
mesmerised crowd!
I commented on this at the time, and requested more info on Hexstatic visuals
(they have released at least one video which I've not seen) - but no-one
responded. Anyone have any of these?
It really is the syncing of visual and sound elements that makes this work so
special. In a world of high technology, it is always disappointing to see these
cool graphics (motion vid etc) which change and switch views with no apparent
reference to the music. A few of the clips on some of my X-Mix & 3-Lux tapes
attempt this too (The video someone's done for the track off Atmo & Namlook's
"Silence" album is a case in point) but the Coldcut stuff is the first time
I've been so impressed.
later,
