Feedbuck, Wholeshim Maximal and OVT are cool and do great shit for the
optic senses but are limited by the linear quality of tape playback,
limited to swicting back and forth between tapes.
This guy Donovan could be very interesting pushing it to the level of an
instrument. I'd like to check him out, but is he strictly a left coast
guy?
EBN has really got this down, and with the the music dimension honed as
well, I recently saw on of their videos playback at the Spooky-Ben Niell
show in Chicago, where it started as just a video playback and then Ben
and Spooky took it from there, using the video as a starting point,
sometimes obscuring the other times working with it, for me a rather
interesting approach.
The other Visual artists at Soundlab, were they imported or local?
