Some stuff I've been working on lately.

What is a vj?

VJing is part of a world wide movement redefining the live music experience. VJ's use specialised software and hardware to mix video and lighting “LIVE” in realtime for music and theatrical performances. Its humble roots began in the early rave scene and made its way into the mainstream through musical acts like U2, BJORK and other well known artists. Today VJ's are a must have for large festivals and concerts. Even cirque de solie now has a VJ.

Why hire a vj?

- Adds a dynamic element to any live music production.

- Visual accompaniment to music adds higher levels of stimulation. It increases your value proposition, adding to customer turnover and customer yield.

- The human brain recalls experiences 90% by visual stimulation. A great opportunity for onscreen branding opportunities for venues, promoters and sponsors.
