OT: This video’s been around for a while – but it’s still as awesome as ever.

Ever think what you’re doing doesn’t make a difference – or that one person can’t do much to change things?

Check out how one guy, dancing like an ecstatic madman, changes a ho-hum show into an unmissable dance party. With people running to join in the fun, holding their camera phones over their heads to catch the action.

I’ve seen this happen at gigs before and it completely changes the energy, for both the crowd and the musicians.

If you know this guy, or someone like him, invite them to your gig. Give them your CD. Be their groupie.

One ecstatic madman fan could be enough.

Natasha Adorlee Johnson (Natasha and the Rejects) performs Counting Stars, while demonstrating how the TouchOSC iPhone application can be used to control video and sound.

TouchOSC was used as wireless OSC to MIDI controller in conjunction with Ableton Live and Resolume VJ Software. Johnson altered and mixed the visuals and sound live using the TouchOSC application on the iPhone.

All aspects of the performance demonstration, including effected sound and video processing, were done live. The top right hand shot clarifies Natasha’s actions on the iPhone to control the performance.

This is a teaser video for Retrotech, an electronic music concert composed and performed live by keyboardists Carlos Trilha and André Dessandes.

Retrotech recalls the “belle epoque” of electronic music.

Details:

On stage, Trilha and Dessandes use synthesizers, analogue sequencers and drum machines from the 70’s and early 80’s. These historical instruments evoke the origin of characteristic electronic sounds that are now widely used in many types of pop and electronic music.

A unique detail of this production is that they do not use loops or sound libraries. All the sounds are created from real instruments and are first generation, allowing Retrotech to make a striking reinterpretation of the classic sound of electronic music.

In addition, Retrotech also uses a special set of projection images from generative code (created in real time), synchronized by software written with MAX/MSP/JITTER by ALESSANDRA MARFISA specially for each performance.
