Rotation Mix Series is an audiovisual platform to showcase the collaboration between audio & visual artists. Each visual artist is invited to make a cover for 2 mixes to capture the music to an image.

Japanese visual stories • 01
Visual interpretation by Kisho Matsuo:
"When I listen to his mix, I feel his groove strong and deep.
it’s like Basso continuo and fills room and my body.
So I have tried to make the collage which reminds his groove with some kinds of patterns.
Images of patterns are similar to techno music.  
They repeat own rhythm and give groove to eyes.
So the cover describes his groove repeating and spreading."

For the first of the cultural exchange series, we made a collaboration between Japan & Swiss, to show the dialogue between different cultural backgrounds.

Visual interpretation by Christophe Mauberqué.
He works exclusively on film, a format he loves above all: the element of surprise when retrieving new photos from the lab, the inherent nostalgia / blissfulness due to the colors & the grain and the simple fact that analogue pictures are permanent. He is also the founder and curator of the instagram account Analogue People, which features film photographers from all around the world. As a photographer, emotion is the trigger, more than technique. He nevertheless places light & composition, shadow & framing as the center of his work. But around that, he lets moments, feelings & intuition guide his photographic choices.

Rotate with Legri from Paris.
@Legri

Visual interpretation by Ezequiel Guido from Mexico:
 While i was listening to Legri´s podcast i was thinking of the concept of "balance" and how to represent musical elements like texture, rhythm and melody in a collage. Most of all of how to build a solid structure, balanced, without losing the organic part.

Rotate with Luc Ringeisen from France.
 • LIVE 2  Recorded Feb. 2019  STEREO VERSION Of An Original Quadraphonic Recording  •
@luc-ringeisen

Original quadraphonic surround version + the mini guide "how to play and listen to the quadraphonic file" are downloadable here: 
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zMI6hB9_r8Ku8YWOTE376P_WIKwdb8Wk?usp=sharing

The concept is to bring surround into our beloved dance music, not an experimental concert type of event, but actual “club music” in surround, executed in real time on analog drum machines, modular synthesizers, a quadraphonic analog “Studer” console from the 60's and multichannel digital multi-effects, fully using all the possibilities offered by a quadraphonic set up, such as 3 dimensional immersive impression, where the dancer feels like he stands inside the artificial “space” created thanks to surround possibilities such as surround reverbs and other effects, and the use of analog spatializers creating the feeling of “distance”. On top of placing each sound in a 3 dimension space thanks to the quadraphonic console, the use of eurorack modules such as joysticks (yes like in the 80’ies video games) and “quad spatializers”, any sound of the mix, can at any time be sent in motion around the dancers. Synthesizers and percussions are literally turning around the crowd each in an independent way regarding their direction, speed, distance from center etc. Each sound motion is in control of the artist, allowing him to create unprecedented “psychedelic environments” where the dancer can loose himself in the middle of synth sequences and percussions that are literally “dancing around him”, so he can enter much easier in that state of trance which we are seeking after so much.

Visual interpretation by Ezequiel Guido from Mexico:
For this piece I was inspired by the patterns found in nature, the loop, the rhythm and how all this moves our body to make it dance.

Visual interpretation by Calin Segal:
It is not my image, my AI made this image, I am simply the curator of its mind.
From this idea, Calin Segal from InDialog collective began to develop a new methodology to synthesise images together with sound using a Machine learning process called : Generative Adversarial network.
Starting from multiple sources of image input, the machine composes new images that have secretion characteristics to the seed images. Sound is used as a weight factor to balance the ratio between each picture making each image unique to the track. For the case of this two paintings the original images were elements that reminded him of the “Secret Pit” : rock , bird , tree, insect, sky. The AI merged this elements together on the beats of the secret pit recordings.
