It was a great gig at Bene Gesserit Nursery at Loop last week. Met some great people and got to play with some amazing artists. Definitely check out Rottuer who played a complex chain of pedals and created a thick warm blanket of sound punctuated with the cold winter wind turned into sound. Hunt Hunter was perfectly balanced between almost danceable synth lines and processed out of control vocals. Shane Reynolds not only kicked out a wicked set but also recorded all of us on his Zoom H4 MkII. Below is my recording which is a mix of the desk and room audio, a nifty trick of the new H4. Also pics are by Ben from Hunt Hunter.

NGC1313 Spiral Galaxy
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010The vision here is again made using the amazing astronomy photographs of Marek Dobiecki . The photos were built into a series of audio reactive Quartz Composer animations and the sounds are inspired from space recordings and low frequency atmospheric sounds of the earth built on the modular synthesizer. As always the track is recorded in one pass with no overdubs for sound or vision.

All the details and downloads are on the release page: Hillingar – Zac Keiller vs Abre Ojos
Elements
Friday, May 1st, 2009Elements release on Darkwinter.com
This is the first official label release from Abre Ojos.
Elements are a series of improvised audio-visual tracks based around the four alchemical elements of Earth, Air, Water & Fire. Drawing on the aesthetics of the Crowley Tarot painted by Lady Frieda Harris with imagery drawn from 50’s propaganda films these pieces combine long evolving drones from modular synths with sound reactive looping visuals and animated mandalas to create an immersive synaesthetic experience to give time for reflection and meditation.
Each week, for four weeks, a new element track will be released culminating in the fourth week with a limited edition DVD compiling all four tracks as well as an extra bonus fifth track, Spirit, which will only be available on the DVD. Purchase and ordering information will be found on Darkwinter.com or here.
Many many thanks to Darkwinter for this opportunity and support!

seed -> swap -> process -> swap -> process
where each of us would start with 6-7mins of sound, swap it with the other and either process it or create a response using everything from our modular systems to software including ableton live.
All tracks are 192 MP3 files.
