Audiovisual improvisation created using my iPhone 3GS.
Charlie North releases his official Drum and Bass audiovisual remix of Outta Sight by Eclectic Method. This is a complete music and video remix of the original track that also features Chuck D (Public Enemy).
The band first became aware of Charlie North when they spotted his video mash-ups on YouTube. “We specialise in mixing and performing video so we wanted to invite other video acts to get involved” states Jonny, “as soon as we saw Charlie’s work we knew his style would really compliment this track.”
Creating a successful audiovisual remix can be a daunting task, and this project would prove to be no different. The trickiest aspect being that the original track wasn’t actually finished when Charlie started working on the remix. “I usually work with audio and video simultaneously, but the video wasn’t ready when I was first approached to get involved,” says Charlie. “It takes a long time to create these mixes so I decided to start on the music in the hope that the video would arrive before the deadline.” A few days after he finished the music Chuck D’s video performance arrived via the Internet. The video was finally completed by shooting, mixing, and editing some additional performance footage at Charlie’s Yorkshire based studio.
A few weeks ago I gave an enjoyable interview to Phoebe Seymour from Counterfeit magazine. We talked about my audiovisual work, performing live and remixing tracks. You can read the finished acticle at the Counterfeit website.

“As part of the Love Music Hate Racism Northern Carnival on May 1st, local audiovisual artist Charlie North has created an original AV composition by mixing together some of the artists who will be performing at the event. This new and original remix was created by using small unrelated clips, videos and performances. This material was then mixed together to create a brand new audiovisual track.”

I created Elemental by performing and mixing together small sounds and video clips from Luc Besson’s film The Fifth Element. This track is also the first audiovisual project that takes the listener back to my musical roots of chilled electronica.
