club visuals, art visuals, dub visuals, smart visuals. i am vj chromatouch. and i'm one hungover sumbitch... After studying Biochemistry for a short time whilst making electronic music, I decided that I was tone deaf and science was creatively blinkered (tho i'm coming back to it). After playing with multimedia and photography for a while I embarked on a short lived corporate web design career that quickly led to video editing et al. combining all these previously garnered skills I started djing and vjing in local clubs and pubs. Having started the Jigsawmusic night with the other founder members, things took off. Using animation, photography, video footage and rhythmic skills, I combine the elements into a truly organic digital experience. It’s like painting with light. I started Chromatouch Visuals as a business in mid 2005. I have played on stages as diverse the Big Chill dance tent, Bloom Big Top & Main Stage, Que Club, Birmingham Hippodrome, Glade Ambient Dome and the Thinktank theatre; from fields in the Yorkshire Dales to St Martins Church in the Bullring; organised international festivals and local basement parties; made films; worked with hypnotists and dancers; exhibited in the Mailbox and Custard Factory galleries as well as a derelict tower block on Bristol Street.
