Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Totally unique live and improvised cinematic experience from the AV-editing, globe-trotting, ethnographic brain of Vincent Moon. Like Alan Lomax meets free jazz (or just LSD meets National Geographic channel), Mr Moon weaves hallucinogenic tapestries from his footage of rare shamanic rituals, accapella mountain songs and scenes from the global village.

A gig held at Strange Brew on Tuesday 18th April. The event starts at 19:00.
Vincent Moon's Live-Cinéma
+ J. Martin (Live AV)
7pm - 10pm
Tues April 18th
Strange Brew are excited to present Vincent Moon’s “live cinéma”, having witnessed it before at the Cube and Unsound festival - a truly unique experience and the closest you will get to an Ayahuasca trip without ingesting anything
FFO: Chris Marker, National Geographic, Embrace of the Serpent
Vincent Moon’s “live cinéma” is a performance improvising with live-edited images, music on stage and in the films screened, and a research towards new forms of ceremonies. Each performance is a unique combination of films and music, based on the recordings of his own Collection Petites Planètes, partly in collaboration with writer and explorer Priscilla Telmon. All the performances are site-specific and sometimes involve local musicians and participants, leading to a new film being created on the spot every time.
Vincent Moon is an independent french filmmaker and radical sound explorer. He was the main director of the Blogotheque’s Take Away Shows, a web-based project recording field work music videos of indie rock related musicians as well as some notable mainstream artists. For the past ten years, Vincent Moon has been traveling around the globe with a camera in his backpack, documenting local folklores, sacred music, trance ceremonies and experimental music, for his label Collection Petites Planètes, always releasing the material (more than 1000 films so far) under open source licences on internet.
J. Martin (The Brunswick Club / SŌN), will also perform an AV show. A one-man band with a bespoke crafted drum kit, he plays multiple other percussive instruments, bows, chimes and guitars, scoring his own visual work, with inferred sensors on his drums, triggering visuals propelling his shows into a live cinematic experience. Jordan currently resides in Bristol working as a film director and visual artist with his self-made company Double Vision, as well as scoring music for film, TV and radio including work with the BBC and other production houses. He also plays as part of a duo in the double drum outfit SŌN. Where industrial dance music and live tribal drums meet!
