Coldcut VJ show, music, fire shows etc. - Munich

Happening in Odeonsplatz alongside the Streetlife Festival that's on all weekend. And it's FREE!

Various bands, fires shows and then a VJ show by Coldcut. (If you don't them then they are apparently ‘the inventors’ of audiovisual cutups - see their Youtube stuff at http://www.energyunion.eu/tour)

Here's the blurb: The music is a 'Journeys by DJ' style approach: a montage of contemporary music both familiar and obscure, drawn from many genres, woven together by the acknowledged Grandmasters of the eclectic electric mash-up. The music is also planned to feature an orchestral element, a score performed by a live string section, adding a human dimension to the digital.

The visuals -a mix of borrowed, contributed footage and custom animation - use the music mix as a foundation to build a narrative in 4 sections: LIFE, CAUTION, SOLUTIONS, ACTION. Coldcut as pioneers of VJing and the audiovisual style have transplanted techniques from the DJ world and applied them to create what they call 'scratch montage'. The visuals will be presented on a custom giant black screen, this being part of Coldcut' s 'Project Black' initiative: a number of techniques to achieve a projection effect ' beyond the screen'.

All in the good cause of raising awareness about Climate Change...

Coldcut sounds like a good idea, anybody else intends to go?

Think Coldcut are doing something in Cafe King this evening
