Victor: I think of this video as an exploration into synesthesia along with accented glimpses of inter-dimensionality. The soundtrack was performed live by Igor Amokian (Chris Holland) and recorded in audio and video with a mobile phone. The motion graphics were added later.
I first met Chris Holland (Igor Amokian) at the Mandrake Bar just off gallery row in Culver City in about 2011. He was the DJ spinning (as it were) some esoteric but catchy tunes for the Monthly “open decks” VJ nights hosted by Eric Medine and James Fader Cui, co-directors of the then very active Los Angeles Video Artists [LAVA] group. Later at a regular monthly members gathering, I witnessed one of his presentations on his Circuit Bending work, and I realized that was where he was really at. I was blown away and I knew we would collaborate at some point.
Our first collaboration is the visual music work called A Walk in the City [2016] Igor Amokian has been recording, releasing music and performing live for several years now with the unique sounds of his circuit bent machines and vintage electronics. Many of his circuit bent creations have been shown at various exhibits and heard in various sound installations.
