WE SEE MUSIC #EXYZT - Etienne De Crecy!


Been so fuckin busy that i havent been following up.

Anyway, now that "Human" performance by The Killers at MTV EMA awards (posted below) is not as original as we thought it was, heres the other dudes supposedly behind this awesome projection mapping music visualization, which was done b4 MTV times. 
Albeit their source of inspiration uncovered, I would not discount the fact that MTV production crew still did a great job entertaining at the awards
The difference is that Etienne De Crecy's visuals are projected on semi-transparent screens (for added illusion of depth) while The Killer's act was projected on LCD screens.




Tipped by Kentie and Tomas, the brainchild behind this amazing installation (behind the much raved about EMA performance for The Killers by unknown mimic visual artist) is Parisian crew EXYZT who are a team of architects, designers, geniuses technicians etc..

"The show is an hour of visual mapping and projections on a big cube, while de Crecy is playing live electronic music, and triggering the lights and visual sequences, standing in the middle cube, inside the installation. The setup is very effective, they used semi-transparent material to give more depth to the projections, and all the content is perfectly mapped to the structure, and produced with a very specific technique, to give the impression that the cubes are actually in 3D, and to create depth and volume.

In fact there is only one projector, and all the magic comes from the clever setup and the quality of production."

Heres some other work by EXYZT. 

Mapping on building:




Mapping on Scaffolding building (i love the track used for this):





And a little quirky one using city lights and beat of life in Tokyo as rythmn to the music. 



I think these people should be made Knights of the Sonic Kingdom.


Coming soon.... AntiVJ.  >:)
