SOUNDS SEEN: THE VJ COMPETITION
SUNDAY, SEPT 24 :: 9:30 pm :: DOWNTOWN
LIVE INTERACTIVE EVENT, 100 MIN
Official Sounds Seen site

We are extremely excited to be launching a new show at the Alamo Drafthouse: SOUND SEEN, Austin’s first VJ competition. In this context, VJ’s are not the Martha Quinns and Nina Blackwoods of the early days of MTV. Here we are talking about the cutting edge of turntablism culture, taking the art of the DJ to an unbelievable new frontier. If you happened to come out to the AT&T sponsored Austin Fuzion show featuring DJ Cut Chemist, you have an idea of what the show is about. VJs are live video performers who manipulate, edit and tweak video live in time to a DJ’s music. We are trying to develop this scene in Austin with the launch of SOUNDS SEEN. We’ll have a performance by a local DJ coupled with a competition of some of the region’s best video artists and VJs. They will battle it out live, and the audience vote decides who takes home the cash prize and who is stuck with the 2nd place set of steak knives. Check back to the website (www.originalalamo.com). We’ll have full information about rules, prizes and details on the competition. Sound Seen is sponsored by AT&T and LIvid Union/Livid Instruments, an Austin company, makers of VJ hardware and software. (Tim)
