Tom Middleton's Amba Lifetracks - World Premiere 29th June

Post by usernick »

Unfortunately, I can't make this (will be in Amsterdam seeing the Chems)...

Amba Lifetracks - World Premiere 29th June

Tom Middleton is one of the country's leading electronic composers and producers. He has teamed up with two of Britain's most innovative VJ's and AV artists, Ben Mason (Red Dog) and Nick Hillel (Yeast) to interpret his latest work 'Lifetracks'.

Original media from talented new filmmakers and digital artists has been treated and sequenced to create this journey. Tom's home county of Cornwall is a key source of inspiration for much of his music.

The piece will fuse digital and organic sound elements as visual components are triggered live by 'the musicians', to create a synchronized, surround-sound experience.
