‘TY had the best visuals on the stages screen: with famous figures attempting various dance moves.’ Big Chill Review, The Independent Newspaper
" I have never had such good visuals behind a performance.. you .. took me somewhere else with all that visual magic.. thank you .. people have really been blown away by that show.. i have you to thank for that.." TY, Ninjatune
Daily Mail
'The day had started with the bizarre sight of a huge video plasma screen in
Trafalgar Square displaying images of Osama Bin Laden and others against a
Whitehall backdrop. To the strains of Bob Marley's 'War', the film showed
defining moments and central figures from decades of conflict, highlighting
troubles in Palestine, Afghanistan and Soweto among others. Even the Brixton
riots got a mention. And it wasn't even midday yet.'
'briliant to see jo getting some media praise for her (fantastic) work. i too highly rate jo
as a vj - content mixed with joy and real humour.totally engaging.', Simon Green, Raya
'The best sampling VJ I've seen for a while is Silent Eclipse, whose day job is a film / video researcher, which seems an ideal combination. She's got an uncanny ability to find interesting and contextually salient clips, and a really sharp visual awareness.', John Rixon, the Big Chill
