Wow, these guy do amazing work with light trails in motion. I found this video on Hobnox as one of the great entries to the Hobnox Evolution Contest. I was of course very impressed and needed to see more of the lights fantastic! So I navigated my way through the interweb to discover the Lichtfactor website and was treat to two more great videos. The Youtube video above does this no justice, I implore you to go see the better quailty version from Hobnox or their own site! Youtube is the big box store with woeful bad encoding don’t ya know!
The soundtrack on this and another on the site is by The Green Man. I hear the Mac trash empty!

Well, I was going to do a full review of this year’s Electric Picnic festival, but I’m backdating this now so it’s best to let the pictures tell the story for the most part. Briefly though, yes it was good. I was sober all weekend on doctor’s orders and quite proud of myself for that. Missed Friday night but got down on Saturday and provided live visuals for the excellent Halfset in the Body & Soul area and played a DJ set on Sunday on the Cosmololis visuals tower. Highlights included Dj Yoda, The Silent Disco, Le Bien, The rap kid in the Lost Vagueness Chapel, The whole of Body & Soul, The Hog sandwiches and Lucent Dossier’s Vaudeville Cirque.
There are two photo sets here, one of the Electric Picnic in general and one for the Vaudeville Cirque as it deserves one of its own on account of it being so good!

Finnish artist Liisa Lounila currently has an exhibition of her work at the Gallery Of Photography in Meeting House Square in Dublin. Her work was introduced to me a few months back by my friend Leo and I was very impressed. She makes time sliced photographs into a 3D experience similar to the techniques used in the film The Matrix. “Popcorn” was my first introduction and it is a scene of some people throwing popcorn at each other. This is shown here as well as “Gig” and my favourite piece “Play”, which is a number of scenes at a nightclub tied together in this style of frozen life. Also on display are some photos in lightboxes which move when you move and hurt your eyes a bit and some LCD belt-buckles which could well be the rage come 2010!!
Go check it out, it runs from August 15 - September 19. For more info, check out Scene Missing, the portfolio site of the artist where you can view the work, but as always it’s best to see it in the gallery!
The Sliabh an Iarainn Music & Arts Festival, or Leechrum as it’s other wise known, took place last weekend in the beautiful location of Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim overlooking Lough Allen and it certainly took place. It took its place as one of the best festivals I have ever been to in this country and probably the best independently run festival here so far.

This is the video I made for The Pale for a track from their new album “The Contents Of A Shipwreck”. It’s a little skaesque stormer called “Elizabeth In Rags”. The video is mostly made from photographs. It’s a bit of a visual mind feast and worthy of a few views to catch everything that’s happening along with the music. Featuring Matthew Devereux, Shane Wearen, Ashley the Cat & Doug the Dog. Hope you like it! The high quality version is available from my Stage6 channel here.
