Skokie - VHS - Experimental

Recently, the experimental, live audio/video project, Skokie, of which I'm a part, went to LA to provide visuals for a show put on by FEELS MUSIC.

Here's a photo of me from the night:

(yes, a real picture of me)


MADTEO & SUZANNE KRAFT both DJ'ed at the show.

Skokie is an experimental live performance piece exploring the ignored, forgotten and undiginified aesthetics of VHS media.


For the performance, images and audio sourced from a collection of second-hand VHS tapes are manipulated, distorted and otherwise detourned in real time through analog means. What arises is a uniquely psychedelic collage of sight & sound; an assault on the senses; a celebration of ephemeral phenomena; a testament to the endurance of analog transmissions; and an ode to the constant fluctuations of our media landscapes.

It is also some trippy, weird cool looking stuff, good for parties & whatnot.
