Imagine music and video playing a game together. And telling stories at the same time. That’s what it’s like to experience a performance by audio-visual collective Origamibiro.
The collaborative trio merge found objects, unorthodox contraptions, multi instrumentalism and persistence of vision to create an atmosphere both nostalgic and otherworldly.
Together, musicians and producers Tom Hill and Andy Tytherleigh and video artist The Joy of Box make connections between seemingly unrelated elements and create a world that plays the scale of human emotions.
With atmosphere oozing from their fingertips, it’s no wonder the Dublin Fringe Festival described Origamibiro as "undoubtedly the most original offering of the fringe calendar"
The new Origamibiro album - Shakkei - has now been co-released between Abandon Building Records in the US, Denizen Recordings here in the UK and p*dis in Japan.
The new Origamibiro album Shakkei is available to buy online now. Go here for download:

Why did you open up the Fender Rhodes? To show the inner workings?
SUPERB!
I could even live during the festival VisionSonic 2009 Paris where I was their technical manager.
Work has absolutely see.
Thank you gentlemen ORIGAMIBIRO
Thanks for watching and commenting-really glad you like the vid. As far as music gear goes its pretty much everything you see in the vid-Tom and Andy base everything around their boss rc50 loop pedals, Andy also has a kaoss pad, Tom has a contact mic on the end of his behringer mixer for some percussive sounds and a couple of old sm58 type mics for the typewriter and the paper loops. If that doesnt cover it let me know what else you'd like to know and I will more specifically elaborate for you. As far as the edits question go- read the next comment below and hopefully that will satisfy
Thanks for watching and glad you like the vid. Hopefully I can help both you and Matthew above if I tell you a bit more about the shoot.
We shot in a gallery for two days- first day for setup, rehearsals and first live take and the second day for more live takes. We went with the take that felt right (it was Day 2 take 2 as quoted at the start of the vid) and then put it through Final Cut for edit and grade and Logic for mixing/mastering. However, the actual take was 15 minutes long which we felt might have lost some people so we cut it down which was actually quite difficult to maintain a good music shape and keep everything making sense and feeling right and sequential in the visual edit-hence the slightly elastic time/space edit continuum So it was performed live and recorded live but it was edited to make it shorter.
Hope that makes sense

If you can please answer, what kind of camcorder did you used which was pluged to the projector. =)
I used this kind of thing for the most part:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/30LED-Color-CCTV-CMOS-Surveillance-Video-Audio-Camera-/220647214243?pt=UK_CCTV&hash=item335f994ca3
and this for the typewritten part:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/WIRED-PINHOLE-TINY-CCTV-SECURITY-CAMERA-HIDDEN-SPY-CAM-/160507892177?pt=UK_CCTV&hash=item255f0411d1
thanks for watching
