A one-to-one studio session for people who want to make moving image around music. Some people come to develop a music video; others want live visuals for a performance, projection for a set, or a visual world for a track.
Sessions combine accessible tools with more experimental methods, including phone filming, editing, live visuals, 3D cameras and projection, AI image generation,audio reactive visuals and critical approaches to the visual culture around music online.
What you can make:
Sessions will be constructed around the participants needs but to give you an idea, we might work towards:
- A short music video.
- A visual loop or projected backdrop for a live performance.
- Live visuals that respond to music in real time.
- A visual concept for a song release.
- Experimental footage using phones, cameras, found images or generated media.
- AIWorking creatively with AI
The goal is not one fixed format. It is to help you explore how sound, image, performance and technology can work together.
Tools and techniques
Sessions may include a mix of:
- Phone filming and editing.
- Lighting, projection and live camera techniques.
- Live visual and VJ methods.
- AI image or video tools.
- Experimental image-making and visual effects.
- Approaches to performance video and audiovisual storytelling.
You do not need expensive kit or previous experience to take part. A phone is enough to begin, and the studio setup opens up additional ways to experiment with visuals in relation to music.
Who it’s for
This is for people who are interested in music, visuals, digital culture, performance or making things with media. You do not need to be in a band, and you do not need to think of yourself as technical.
It may suit:
- Musicians who want visuals for their tracks.
- People interested in editing, filming or online video.
- Performers who want to experiment with image and stage atmosphere.
- Young people drawn to creative technology through culture and making rather than formal coding.
Session format
Each session is a dedicated one-to-one in the studio, with space to focus on your project, test ideas practically and get direct support. This format is especially useful if you want tailored help, clear direction, or more time with specific tools and techniques.
