Alternative Advent

Anyone who's been following me on Twitter should know all about this, but throughout advent I am releasing 25 new video clips, one per day, created using footage from my archive of live visuals as well as never-before-seen clips. Each is accompanied by a new or rare track created by bands and musicians that I have invited to collaborate on the project. I started to create content for the live arena as a way of giving life to graphical ideas that may never have otherwise seen the light of day. This project’s musical participants have treated their submissions in a similar way, making the calendar an opportunity to air musical phrases and experiments that never made it into fully-formed songs; an outlet for unrealised ideas.
We've got some really exciting artists contributing, and it's been a bit of a mammoth undertaking, but I'm really excited about it.

V&A

Tonight I did a live VJ set with Sam Potter at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
It was a VERY surreal evening in many way.
What an incredible honour to have had my work within the walls of that building...

SSV Live at Shoreditch Church

Next Thursday I will be delving into the world of lighting design in a collaboration with the amazing Nathan Matthews. We will be accompanying the wonderful Bo Ningen, Serafina and Esben and the Witch, as they play some very special gigs at Shoreditch Church.

It's coming. It's complete. It was clocked and laid to tape on Friday afternoon.

It's just down to web-exclusives and business talk to see what day this week the promo will go live on the internet.

Behind the Scenes on Metronomy

I was lucky enough to have Andy Lawrence as a member of crew on my last 2 promos (Metronomy 'The Bay', and the new Keaton Henson 'You Don't Know How Lucky You Are).

It's well worth checking out his blog at regular intervals. He takes his camera to every shoot, grabbing some awesome behind-the-scene snaps.
