After a year of collaborative efforts, Lightrhythm returns with another impassable, audiovisual album. Always innovative and utterly inspiring, the captivating first in Lightrhythmâs new series "Notations 01" showcases handpicked artists from Europe, Japan and the Americas. Continuing to deliver imaginative content and hosting award winning artists "Notations 01â descends into stores from October the 25th, and re-defines the VJ legacy for visual artists and audiences worldwide.
The name, inspired by the book âNotationsâ (compiled by John Cage) aimed to also explore the new techniques in visualization of sound in the same way that Cage inspired new forms of written music. For this reason Lightrhythm consciously sought out matured approaches to a diversity of music. The result encompasses a full spectrum of sound and light; classical compositions, electronic interpretations; each track unearthing a fresh, motivating re-approach towards visual arts and vjing. The works fill an expanse of imagination and intellect, a playful choreographed of light, shape and sound. Varying approaches yield a range of moods from the day dreamscapes of âLakeâ to the awakening rhythms of âEllis Jonesâ and âGravithâ.
A key element of Notations 01 is its collaborative concept: each contributing artist shared their source files with top visual performers and designers around the world. Each VJ then remixed the elements of one track, arranging and interpreting the composition in their own style. The results stand as a truly global collection of work, collaborations between cultures and mediums, resulting in a unique DVD. Visual remixes utilize the DVDs multi-angle feature, allowing two animations to run simultaneously to the same audio track, which inturn lets the viewer interact with the content switching between original works and remixed works in real time.
Including some of the worldâs top audiovisual talents such as Suryummy (VJ Battle winner for two years straight), a stunning remix by Vj Anyone (last year voted no#3 VJ in the world by DJ Magazine) and renowned gallery artist Scott Draves, along with gripping performances from the labels returning ensemble cast, Ben Sheppee, Brian Clark and Kevlar. New to the label, taking over the reigns include visual effects artist Supernature and top Spanish VJ group Actop, and young Japanese creative VJ Reel,
