Check out this new music video from jazz trumpet artist Matt Von Roderick, directed by Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages) and featuring psychedelic projections by JON 9.

Matt has a unique musical talent – a composer, lyricist, trumpet player AND singer — seamlessly blending elements of jazz with an R&B vibe… VERY danceable… (When’s the last time you could say that about a JAZZ TRUMPET video ??)
Lots of great creative fun working with Matt and Kristin and the crew… Looking forward to more collaborations.

HOLONYNE TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE:  HIPPOTIZERS

For the last four years I have been working with Hippotizer Media Servers from Green Hippo in London, distributed in the US by TMB.  There are lots of cool reasons (besides the name – who doesn’t want a green hippo ??) why I have used these servers in two major commercial installations and lots of art projects, nightclub gigs, and production scenarios.

SOME HIPPOTIZER PROJECTS

• Cirque du Soleil, LOVE, Mirage Casino, Las Vegas (20 Hippotizers)
• “SEE CHANGE” public video art project, LAX International Arrivals Terminal (60 Hippotizers)
• supperclub, l.a., Opening (Holonyne Hippotizer Hi-Performance system)
• “Le Dome de Paris“ multi-image immersive dome projections for Vortex Immersion Media (3 Grasshoppers driving 8 projectors)
• “Digital Dreams in 9 Dimensions” psychedelic video art piece – using Hippotizer as a multi-layer realtime  production tool.
• TedX Caltech Conference, Improv Filmmaking with Lyle Mays/Chaos Collective  (Holonyne Hippotizer high Performance system)
