Project A/V
OTO+Virgilio Villoresi
Concept:
PASSO A1 is an audio-visual project born in 2004 from the encounter between Marco Puccini aka OTO's electronic music and the video of Virgilio Villoresi.
The live-performance is played on the contrast and intersection of the languages in field. The musical structure delineates a path made of expanded melodies or break to become unusaul explosion of noise/8 bit, meanwhile the visual images chase or anticipate every single event, following a narrative and psychotic path made of animations realized by the video-maker with the stop frame tecnique or using abstract figures that remind the Brakhage, Ken Jacobs or Maya Deren aesthetic.
PASSO A1 is, in synthesis, a short trip through a musical and aesthetic imaginary that deeply sinks the roots in the cultural contemporary schizophrenia, with a sense of unusual audio-visual recovery from the past.

In 2005 he creates the A/V project called OTO, in collaboration with Marco Puccini.

So we are facing some pretty interesting times here in the USA.
Political plays float on a sea of national concern over the tide of the economy.
A surge of social unrest floods the senses of our collective consciousness,
urging us to either go with the flow or stride with the current for change!
This month I'm finally able to share a concept that I've been exploring for seven years.
I see our electronic music community as being comprised of many tribes,
and the individuals of these tribes have a particulalry affinity for music that resonates with the vibration of their tribe, with each tribe and musical style having a correspondant element as follows:
Drum N Bass - Fire Element
Breakbeats - Water Element
Trance/Progressive House - Air Element
Funky/Deep/Chicago/San Francisco House - Earth Element
This week's show is my interpretation of the shifting universal energies I feel at a soul level in Mizu Jutsu, Water Style electronica, ala emotive, syncopated, ebb and flow of beats and bass tha we know as Breaks...
Enjoy!
One,
DJ Möet aka Pascal A Dupuy
