CAUSAI - Psicotik /Geomagnetic . ZORIN - Shiva Family

Live Visuals -TRYPTON MEDIA It is the mandate of Trypton Media to re-purpose the video medium as an interactive psychedelic experience. It is the understanding of its principal artists that the video medium has the potential to express the most abstract laws of the universe. These same perceptions can be attained through other paths, yet we at Trypton have chosen the television itself as our ally in attaining and expressing these experiences. The recursive dynamic, or feedback, is the basis of all fractal function in quantum physics.The inherent relationship created by pointing a camera at a TV is the basis of our work. The key to having an audience understand these extremely complicated abstract concepts is not to communicate with words, but with light, in a live interactive demonstration.

Progressive Stage

NILS - Beats Without Borders - Nils has been connecting with and guiding Dance Floors in BC and around the world since the early 90's. In that time he has played at hundreds of events and has been on the same bill with such DJ luminaries as Cheb i Sabbah, Toby Marks, Adham Shaikh, Shakatura, and Bluetech. Never predictable, he has an uncanny ability to read the mood of the dancefloor and give it just what it needs, allowing him to tailor his sets to whatever the night (or day) calls for.

JOHANNESS GERHARD - Challenged Rec. / Blueprint / Believe - Having graced the decks with the likes of Steve Lawler, Dave Seaman, NickWarren, Phil K, Danny Howells, Max Graham and the like...
