The images are never repeating. There are no
loops, no footage from DVD players or computers,
except sometimes to add something to the live generated image.
Its hard to explain the difference here, but you can feel
it immediately in a live situation. Loop and footage based VJing
often focuses on mechanically syncing predefined footage to
the beat. MXZEHN VJs perform the image every moment of the show
together with and parallel to the music. Thats why MXZEHN
visuals can fit to every style of music.
The Images are not slave to the music; they
open up a dialog with the music in harmony or in contrast. Suddenly
theres space for virtuosity, method or madness, for the
immediate artistic expression that has been exclusive to music
for so long. Narrative structure, classic storytelling is not
the main focus of MXZEHN. The observed process is unique - it
has and is its own story.
Space / Scenography
Other than film or TV witch qualify as images in classical sense
by being framed, videoprojections can merge with space, light
and objects. They are hybrids of light and film and not necessarily
the carrier has to be a screen. MXZEHN visuals are generated
procedural and can thus fit in virtually any situation.
A close cooperation on the scenography is nevertheless necessary
for optimum results.
