If you are familiar with my trip reviews of Atonal (2017, 2018, 2021), you already know what I do here… if not, here is a little introduction: The following chronicle is a mixture of AV review of the festival, offering my personal opinion over the performances I had the chance to enjoy, combined with or altered by my experiences with psychedelics (mushrooms). The combination of these two, Berlin Atonal and…
We are in the equator of Berlin Atonal 2018, facing the program for Day III. Something you learn in life is that after a big wave there is a moment to reach the bottom. The higher you get, the lower point you gonna touch later on. That works with drugs, with feelings, with work / art-works, but also in places such as Atonal Festival. It’s like a natural order. So…
Before Berlin Atonal 2018 took place, I wasn’t sure about writing this review. As I usually don’t like to repeat myself, even though I repeated once again the experience of attending the full festival and doing it under the effect of my beloved mushrooms. At the same time I find writing a review important and necessary, as the experience and the festival itself offers me such amount of inputs and…
It’s been a long time since my previous selection of videos [Video Input I] and believe me, my plan was to keep a continuous flow of curated video selections. But I realize I spend far less time digging in Vimeo as I did before, on the other hand I select much more where I spent my time and which videos I watch. If a video doesn’t keep my attention longer…
If you read already the first part of this review of Berlin Atonal 2017, you already know I'm taking you through an audio-visual journey spiced up with some mushrooms, just to refresh your mind. As I commented in part 1, my vision of the festival, my highlights are extremely a personal choice, and I’m happy that I shared conversations during the festival where other people have different views. Also I…
Here is my very personal review of the past Berlin Atonal 2017, and I say very personal because first, it’s always a personal choice and taste, and second because my Atonal experience is always an inner journey, indeed the original title of this review was "Atonal on mushrooms”. But somehow I don’t want to make of this a sensational thing like a vice-kind-of-article. So first things first, an introduction: Berlin…
It’s a common mistake to mix-up the terms VJ and Visual Artist, as it happened sometime ago when people tend to mistake electronic musicians with DJs. Are those different things? Yes, indeed, and that's why I wanted to write this article and share my opinion about it. As I found myself sometimes labelled as VJ, or having to explain to musicians what I do and clear out the mess (nope,…
The capacity to translate music notes and rhythms into visual forms, generally called Visual Music is one of the crossbreed art concepts that I feel more identified with. Also because it connects two of my biggest passions: Visuals (all kind of graphic expression) and music. Therefor it was a matter of time to write a piece about all this in my blog. Indeed AV Brain Feeder is meant not only for…
I usually watch a lot of videos, specially music videos. First on TV, when I was a kid, and in the last decades on internet, mainly in Vimeo. I believe that a good creator has to feed him/herself with as much inputs as possible, from the very same discipline and from others. It’s not just a question of entertain or distract yourself, but also of being aware of what’s out…
