Experimental, audio-visual snippets
It has always been a near impossible mission for me to capture the true essence of my light sculptures in photos and videos. I have experimented with all manner of formal photography and videography techniques over the years but have never managed to portray the full energy of the audio-visual experience that the sculptures provide. So, I thought I’d start an ongoing blog that showcases snippets of the work in my studio, in the form of a series of Studio Video Diaries.
I have no set format for this, I will just play and experiment with the collection of sound responsive light sculptures and musical instruments in my studio, endeavour to capture any interesting moments in short videos clips and post them here in chronological order. The aim being to share brief, free-flowing windows into the Futuretro audio-visual experience.
This will be an ongoing project that I will continue to add videos to when I feel I have something worth sharing. It will also include collaborations with other artists and musicians.

I hope you enjoy the experimental audio-visual snippets in these Studio Video Diaries.
