Gathering of the tribe

16 Sep

It’s been many years since that moment and I had my ups and downs with the psychedlic trance scene, but all in all I still feel a part of this secret tribe.

Syncrosect is a collaboration between psychedelic trance musician Mr. Peculiar (Dustin Saalfield) and visual artist The Shapeshifter (Alex Courtney).
The idea of Syncrosect is to visually capture the vibrant energy and rich atmospheres of trance music. The system used to achieve this involves separating out individual sounds and creating animations to match. The animation loops are then composited and sequenced to precisely match the audio.

They have uploaded two of the six tracks on the DVD to Vimeo, so click on the Vimeo-text to get to the other one.

Something arises. See if it can arise without a witness.  It’s not happening to you… There is nothing you need to change. Stand on your own.
