Spook

Hakkımda:

VJ Spook (a.k.a Nick Palin), has cut his teeth with best of the Australian underground, providing innovative visual stimuli for audiences at parties all over the eastern coast of Australia.

With a strong professional background in multimedia & design spanning well over half a decade & an amateur interest in motion graphics of various media since childhood, Nick began dabbling in live performance video in 1999 & a videophile was born. Since then his style has developed through gigs secured through his association with nine09 Records (co-run with Sam Speaight), as well as various other events for promoters around Australia. This has led Spook to work on a range of the largest productions in Sydney, across a variety of musical genres, while supporting some of the freshest & greatest acts in the world today.

With techniques comparable to a DJ, Spook takes a range of video effects & sources, (including live footage, various animation styles, themed pre-prepared clips, DJ titles & logos), and mixes them together to create a visual montage intrinsically connected to the music of the event. By playing off the mood of the crowd, the artists performing, & his own experience, Spook has been said to be able to create an all-encompassing vibe to the party, filling a gap between the audience, the music & the performing artist, which can often be left void.

Spook's commitment to live spontaneity & continual experimentation has seen him build a style comparable to none, while earning him commendations from many of the global music industry's elite.
