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…
The last album I gonna recommend this week (beside the ones from Justin Walter and Ancestral Voices) is the new Forest Swords’s “Compassion”. I must confess this is not any discovery, but I was really looking forward to listen it, as the first single was already promising. Also he is not a newcomer, he already have a remarkable work before this album and it is released on Ninja Tune, which…
I discovered the work of Ancestral Voices back in 2015 with the album “Night Of Visions” released on Samurai Music Group, which somehow surprised me as I identified this label with more dance-floor oriented electronic music. The first thing that called my attention was its cover artwork and also his artistic name, I felt instantly connected with it and I knew I would enjoy the trip. And now with his…
This week has been musically pretty exciting, and I just say that because this week I found several albums that kept me hooked. I could review all them in one post but I think each of them deserve proper attention. So, let’s go with the first one: the new album from Justin Walter for Kranky record label. I didn’t know Walter’s work but I had a pretty good reference with…
I guess sharing and commenting on the new album from Colin Stetson is a must, at least from a personal point of view, as I have been following his career for already some years and somehow I have to thank him and his music for opening my mind to other genres and specially other instruments. I can’t say enough how impressive an emotional his music can be, the same goes…
I think it was last year when I discovered Terminal Dream, a music label from Russia run by Pixelord and Gultskra Artikler. If just the name alone of Pixelord is a great reference to catch my attention, the name of the label (Terminal Dream), their own definition as ``Psychedelic label`` and their artworks made it all easy for falling in love with it. So, I have been going back to…
This article is meant to be a kind of artist encouragement, a compilation of video stories from other artists to bring inspiration, hope and support for those creative people struggling with their work, with their career. Because it’s known that choosing to be an artist is maybe an easy choice but “succeed” doing it is one of the hardest paths in life. Although maybe we should first check what means…
Even though I grow up listening mainly electronic music and I consider it my most favorite genre in all its forms. I must confess that in the last years I developed a fascination for musicians playing classic instruments with a personal approach, that's the case of Colin Stetson, for example, or Mario Batkovic, an accordion player I discovered some days ago. It amazes me when someone is able to puzzle…
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…
