The second track from the album, Hardly Normal is a song that has it all. In this live performance, Tom Butler joins the band onstage for an impovised rap.
Tonewheel is a collaboration between Denki Funk (aka Nick Lesek) and Don Bate, director of Benjafield Collective. This was the world premeire concert.
Video Contributors from Tokyo: Circle C / Racer X / vJeff
Tasmania Flyby video was provided by Stormfront Productions, Joe Shemesh
The mission we were given was to provide Tokyo footage in all its glory and juxtapose it with the natural Tasmanian footage. The classic Nature vs. Urban; organic-inorganic themes worked quite well. Look forward to expanding on this in future shows...
Plenty of technical challenges for this show! All video equipment and source footage was brought from Japan and in NTSC format. This meant that additional Tasmania footage provided by Stormfront Productions had to be converted from PAL format. Recording the entire show to miniDV at the same time as mixing video from 3 sources and shoooting live camera created the need for extra limbs.
Two large rental projectors were used and beamed on 2m x 3m screens made from white tent material, which worked well.
