Cornelius in Shibuya
01:03 UTC » Joi's Diary - Music
The show was great as always. He played Wataridori which is one of my favorite songs and the song that he released under a Creative Commons license for the Wired CD.
He had some really cool videos using lots of low light photography and photo animation.
There was a bit where he had lots of old cheesy Elvis Hawaiian movie footage with Elvis' head/face covered by an animation of a sea anemone. It was really funny. Then he started playing "My Way" on his theremin.
There was also a lot of audience interaction and he took a group photo with the audience. He also took live video footage of the audience and did some video "scratching" a few times with it.
I had seats on the second floor and I was using a 90 mm lens hand-held so my shots of the stage are a bit crappy. I've posted my photos in a Flickr set.

Wow! Very cool connection there! Cornelius has done remixes for friends and vice-versa, and Takako also had a remix album featuring some very good friends.

Awesome! I saw Cornelius here in Sydney a few months ago, one of the most fun shows I've ever been to. And yes we tried to squish ourselves into the photos from the stage too ;)

Hey! Do you know where I can track down an MP3 of Wataridori? I would love to have something legal of his to play on my podcast!

hey! soon after I asked you this I tracked it down. I downloaded the Senuous album today and listened to it during all of my travels. So damn good. I don't know why i didn't know about this album sooner, I have been a fan of Point for years!

Does jovial brilliance run in your family? I really like Cornelius' "Fit Song" video. It is freakin' awesome!
