VJX owner Tiago Pereira (previously spotted on CDM) is fusing technology with tradition in the OMIRI A/V project.

With Vasco Ribeiro Casais on electronic bouzouki, nyckelharpa, flute, loops, beats, effects pedals, laptop and other enhancements, the sound is a complex mix of past, present and future, and - with the help of João Chaves - the visuals help build this into a consistent performance. The historical basis of these pieces is in dance, so the content is spot on, with dance from a huge range of cultures making an appearance.

Being Vixid.Noisepages, this performance does indeed feature a VJX as the hub which glues the visual show together. There’s some fitting use of blend modes on display, but we need not forget that the VJX is a mixer at heart. You don’t need to use effects just because they’re there, and Tiago doesn’t fall into this trap.
