"Conductor, is a VDMX and Ableton network based audio visual performance, between Test Card founder Sean Clarke and and Manchester based musician SGNL. Using psychogeography as a subject matter for the project, Sean explores space around the city by filming textural and architectural points of interest. Passing this footage over, SGNL then works with it and creates tones out of the space. The performance then becomes a way to explore the relationship between the visual and sound elements that represent that space, while also exploring the concept of dérive"
