not sure who was the tech, who was the concept.... though Hi-Res were envolved in the visuals of the concert and their site.
you can interact with them over the net too!
took photos of their melb gig- which dont exactly do it justice really!

so hi res did the gig visuals aswell. clever bastaåards.
It was amazing the way a lot of the info displayed was up to date.

did you go saphire?
- unknown0
no, visuals by http://www.uva.co.uk/ .. i think.
- v3nt0
yeh. it says that on high res.i think it was a colaboration thingy.

really? i swear *forgets name* from hi-res was here at pv-an ranting on how great their work with massive attack has been- including the concert visuals.
perhaps they only did the website - concert interactive part.

sadly, i didn't go, couldn't afford the plane ticket... but i did purchase their latest cd! :)

it was indeed UVA who did the visuals.
we just helped them with some of the stats and gathering of information.
and we talked a lot and definitely inspired each other.they are amazing.
the system they developed is completely scalable and midi-controlled, lets you trigger and edit things on the fly and stores them at the same time...neato.
f @ Hi-ReS!

it's good music, but I have my doubts about how much actual live music you heard. Lot of that shit it pre-recorded and some DJ hits a play button.
- quamb0
jaz- they had a live drumer, bassist, guitarist, multiple singers and a variety of gadgets.
a band of that caliber would only be relying on the play button for atmospherics and various loops.
- ********0
they might have, but my point was that many, many bands of their same caliber come out and barely play anything at all, nothing against MA.

plus, those are all hired musicians anyway, that attempt to play the music that was synthetically recorded, such as what Portishead does live.
- quamb0
true, though massive do play together, jam together and what not.
the only hired guy i think was the dj- unless i'm outa the loop- had never seen or heard of him before.
get what your sayen though, and I thought the same about these guys- until they burst out on stage with a full on band, jamming out for 5 minutes on songs and what not.
pretty musically talented- despite it being electronic driven alot of the time.

yeah, like if you listen to even Groove Armada or Thievery Corporation, they do in fact play live with live musicians, but their music is for sure sampled. It's kinda' funny, anyway cheers man. hey I got a new .mp3 if you want to hear it, quamb?
- quamb0
yeah, i guess it ads to the live experience- for both band and audience.
massive attack are almost like nin- a band, that is so heavily produced it steps into the domain of electronic music.
anyhow- would be honoured to hear a new song! *slaps thigh* am super excited!!
(ps- will be able to throw some songs back at you in the very near future)

http://www.machnewmedia.com/down… for quamb, all sampled from vinyl and resequenced using Reason 2.5. ;)

hey smoooth, real smooth.
that on loop, a cigar, bourbon, friends and a deck of cards.
the life.
great tune!
like the voice samples, almost dub.
i like dub.
dub, jaz style.
