Shwizzle is playing at Ishihara 13, The Book Club, Shoreditch, August 19th, 2010.
Ishihara is a monthly art and music event, currently downstairs at TBC. Ishihara hosts live music, DJ’s, performance, contemporary art and stalls.
Ishihara exhibitions have always utilised peculiar environments to place different disciplines, artistic approaches and mediums together, Ishiharas new temporary home at The Book Club is no exception. Recent graduates and established artists, creatives old and young, sublime and archaic will be exhibited side by side. Visual relationships formed, broken, evolving and illuminated…
These are still frames from a patch inspired by spirographs. The shapes are made from collections of circles animated individually in real-time 3D space.
Here’s a new patch test, recorded to Mount Kimbie Sketch on Glass. It was the first take and the first time I’ve played this tune through the patch but it worked pretty well so I thought I’d share it. You can see it here on vimeo.

A quick look at a patch I threw together yesterday. See it here on vimeo.
This patch is made of an older patch of mine containing a 3D character and some motion capture data with a few new 2D operations creating the ‘ghosting’ effect.
I’m planning on developing it further but for now I quite like the simplicity of it.
Shwizzle and Crewdson at the Southbank Centre.
Sunday April 25th 2010 2:00pm
Ether, Southbank Centre’s annual music festival of innovation, art, technology and cross-arts experimentation – has long been presenting one-off collaborations and groundbreaking work from the likes of Kraftwerk, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke, and David Byrne.
To mark the final day of Ether, The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall hosts the unveiling and premiere performance of a new music-making sculpture by Felix Thorn, aka Felix’s Machines (2pm), completed on-site across the festival inside Felix’s specially created workshop in Royal Festival Hall’s Spirit Level. The day also features an improvised audio/video electronica performance by Hugh Jones and Shwizzle, and Tom Mudd performing on his innovative new instrument – the Feedback Joypad (also featured as part of the installation). These will be followed by a screening of the film Trimpin – The Sound of Invention by Peter Esmonde (6pm).
Shwizzle . Crewdson . Luszniak . A real-time, interactive combination of photography, music and computer generated visuals. With a theme based on maps, Luszniak shot and edited images on the fly in a purposely set-up portable photography studio before sending them to Shwizzle with the click of a custom set-up PS3 controller button. Using audio input from Crewdson, real-time video input and still image input from Luszniak, Shwizzle created 3D scenes which magnified, distorted and enhanced the visual impact of the improvised performance.
