Eclipse Festival is a yearly electronic music festival in Quebec, Canada. The Quebec government subsidizes it with an arts grant.
This year I got to perform at the Stellar Stage, which was a new stage geared for a more contemplative experience. The music of the night was dub step and the ambiance was focused but energized.
Using content from my summer project, the Blacklight Elves, combined with 3D animated backgrounds (some of which were found and some of which were created), I wove together a loose narrative set to the music. At certain point the eleves became angry, attacking insects in the air — we know those from festivals.
At other points the played the flute, which was reflected by the music.
The footage was filmed by Seven Nescent and VJ Hotbot helped me perform for part of the set. It’s always fun when a friend can help out by jamming in effects one never thought of throwing in the mix. There’s a great synergy with the SMUC (Super Mega Ultra Crew) team.
Next on the agenda is Harvest Festival, which is going to be different. I think the elves content is done with for now. Maybe I will make it available online as stock footage.
