NAME:ClaudiusMaximus
TYPE OF MUSIC: Audio/visual improv techno
LINE-UP: Claude Heiland-Allen
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?: Penge
WHEN AND HOW DID YOU GET TOGETHER? Mid-1990s was when it all started for me, thanks to a magazine cover-disk with OctaMED4 on it - caught the computer music bug and never looked back. Got a laptop 4 years ago, which let me start playing live gigs, then started making visuals as well as music.
INFLUENCES: Lots of abstract mathematics and computer science, mainly - just lately I've been doing some audiovisual work based on lambda calculus, but I'm also really into four-dimensional geometry, and another project I'm working on involves the emergent behaviour of digitally simulated chemical reactions. Equations are awesome.
AMBITIONS: I want to couple my 4D visuals to some kind of 4D virtual acoustic environment, kinda hard to explain but it'd be awesome on headphones - sounds that seem to move around space in totally unexpected ways while still being part of a coherent whole.
GIGS COMING UP:None at the moment, sadly, but you can get recordings of my previous gigs (plus studio recordings) at the Internet Archive, there's plenty of links from my website.
