Semiconductor DVD Due On Fatcat

01/10/06

We are proud to announce that Fatcat will be releasing a Semiconductor DVD in the early part of next year. Brighton-based duo Semiconductor make stunning, cutting-edge digital artworks in the form of sound-films, music videos and live animation. their previous involvement with FatCat has included making videos for QT? and múm (both of which you can check out now in the media section of this site), and performing at a couple of Fatcat festival events.

Guided by obsessive interests in landscape, architecture, geology, geography, chaos / systems theory and artificial intelligence, they explore the potential of the computer to unite sound and image (sounds generating and controlling imagery; and vice versa). What’s revealed is a physical world in flux - cities in motion; shifting landscapes and systems in chaos.

Hugely original and immensely creative, Semiconductor approach each project from a fresh angle, always looking to extend themselves and to break new ground. They have exhibited their work in gallery installations, at festivals and in live / club environments; and have been awarded numerous fellowships, prizes and residencies, notably as artists in residence at the NASA Space sciences Laboratory.

The DVD is a comprehensive overview of their work over the past five years, featuring 3 music videos (including the ones for QT? and múm), 4 live cinema pieces, and 6 short films. It also includes soundtracks for the stunning film, 'Brilliant Noise' by The Twilight Sad, Max Richter, Our Brother The Native, Antenna Farm, Robert Hampson, Gaeaudjiparl, Christian Vogel, Iris Garrelfs, Ensemble, Thomas Dimuzio, Disinformation and Semiconductor themselves.

We will post further info closer to the release date, but you can read more about them in the artists section, and check out their website here
