AUDIO/VIDEO Project Feat. the Legendary DJ Quest
This is likely the last AMV video project Opposite of Faith will do. It is meant to be a demo of the advanced MIDI set up and creative application of the tools we are capable of. We remixed the song 'Phaseshift' and created the sound track to it. It features the combination of the Legendary DJ Quest-one of the founders of modern turntablism, inventor of 'Hamster Style' and 'Power Scratching' and media artist J's MIDI set up and Video work...

A Classic DJ Quest Solo:
Once again this is a scratch soundtrack-all sound effects were created through DJ performance and/or sound design. Video cuts were done with Serato Video SL and any edits or warping were done in Ableton Live and After Effects.
The Dave Smith Instruments Evolver is the master sequencer and controller in this set up. You can see how it works especially during the end solo. Its sequencer sends out MIDI notes to control both Turntables-which are slaved via MIDI-changing their pitch which alters the speed of the turntable platter, This process alters the sound of what ever the turntables are playing and creating a melody matching the Evolvers sequence. The audio signal is also processed on a separate chanels which is brought in through the effects loop. The Ecler Nuo 4 and the Behringer FCB 1010 control parameter (MIDI Control Changes) to give Quest additional control options.

i'm a huge fan of the Dave Smith Evolver (pictured above). it's one of the most incredible and versatile synths i've ever met. i've played entire shows with only an Evolver and an effects pedal and rocked the joint. i started out using it as an effects module for my guitar when i played in a metal band. it can do almost anything and it has a lot of the same sounds as the Sequential Circuits synths of yesteryear... cool stuff.
Yeah, its pretty damn amazing!
We've actually spoken with them and this project will be featured in their newsletter soon!

sweet!
i gave Phaseshift a close and careful listen and must commend you! it is both conceptually and executionally creative, and i can tell the passion that went into it, too. keep doing what you're doing. there are believers out here who are always waiting for new reasons to believe. thanks for the trip.
