I'm aware that I would be able to ditch my iPad for good, if I'm really clever with the MIDI mapping on my Ableton Push, but I just really enjoy the luxury of an extra set of virtual buttons along with my physical controller.

I'm used to controlling the Rutt Etra effect in 3D space using the XY slider (top left), and was thinking of replacing that with a LEAP Motion hand-tracking device, but I noticed pretty quickly that whenever I tried to connect the hardware device to my system, the VJ software started lagging heavily. I chose to control my colours manually with the mouse, directly into the software. As well as the Edge FX on/off buttons were added to my Push Effects Pads.
I managed to map the Mask on/off buttons for every layer on my Ableton Push 2.
Trying not to panic, I had to find a solution to replace all the virtual buttons I've been using before with the app. This is a problem because the Lemur App has now become a major part in my VJ-setup. Happy to see most visual compositions are looking great actually! Although I can't help to notice at times our collective timing is quite off, making us lose some dynamic momentum throughout the whole set.Īrriving at IKON Antwerp tonight, I noticed I forgot my iPad at home. VJ'ed with the five of us for that one, yesterday at the Boiler. I also found a piece of Noisia's DJ set online, on Proximus Pickx as well. But surprisingly, I liked it a whole lot. This set felt more like a 'video operating' job, compared to actually VJing w/ ones's own loops and FXs. That was also a véry fun one to pull off. Keeping in mind the DJ's work and light crew's actions at all times.ĭenis Sulta brought his own visuals-pack to play with.

Notice in this full recording of the Biesmans set provided by Proximus Pickx how I allow myself some individual artistic freedom, all the while making sure not to overpower the overall atmosphere. Had the chance to VJ two sets in a row on my own for this final day of PKP22.īoth Biesmans (LIVE) at 17.00-18.00 and Denis Sulta at 18.00-19.30, in the Boiler.įor the Biesmans set I used my regular type of visuals, but tailored to fit more with the slightly longer pace of electro-house music (compared to the usual Drum & Bass for me). stand offered a wide array of VR experiences, it was my personal duty to supervise the Virtual Reality Foosball Table ^_^ The way in which many of their workforces are truly bilingual (Dutch + French) also plays a huge part in this for me personally. There's an interesting dynamic that comes with this 'start-up' that makes you feel like strong friendships can be built quite quickly over there, if you're willing to put in the effort yourself. I gained quite some insight in a couple of technical aspects around VR, and got to appreciate the 'power' of those tools more.īut most importantly, I genuinely loved working with the other R.A.V.E.N. But at the same time, it was also a very enriching experience. Last weekend felt very exhausting, I won't lie about this. Once the event was declared officially 'over', and the last few visitors were kindly requested to leave the building, that's when it was time for us to break everything back down again on-site. staff (along with their flexible student / freelance workforces) welcomed over a thousand game-fanatics easily, spread over the course of two days. stand at Heysel's Paleis 1 in Brussels, the R.A.V.E.N. Next-up: Inceptionz Halloween Edition at IKON AntwerpĪfter a whole day of building up the R.A.V.E.N. And most of it worked! Whenever it didn't, I always had my unused layers with my familiar effects to fall back on. I got to try out some new techniques / transitions on the spot, and played around with new visual combinations that I didn't dare to try before.
That night almost felt like one big experimental playground to me.
