I came across this video of a test shoot that Adam Guzman and Julie Tsao did of the visuals for Nosaj Thing’s live performance. Rather than just being a backdrop, the visuals act as the sole stage lighting for the show. The clip shows various samples, all synchronized to the music. Guzman says of the pieces:
As the set progresses, the imagery becomes less abstract and focused less on light. Patterns begin to form and space begins to open as if the two dimensions exploded into a third. The relationship the graphics create with the performer is interesting. As the graphics become more spatial, the performer flattens, becoming a 2-D cutout version of himself.
Nosaj isn’t playing any East Coast gigs until November, but he’s in the midst of a swing through California right now if you’re out there. You can get tour dates on his site.
