What you are about to see is an evolution in film sound design far different from anything you‘ve heard before…
The Karas AMV
Anime Music Videos (AMV) are created by hobbyist who take a popular song and add it on top of existing Japanese Animation footage to give the Video a new and more exciting feel. The Karas AMV was created around the idea of taking found sources and samples from existing Japanese Animation titles and combining it with performances highly skilled musicians and Turntablist to recreate the film sound effect work creating a frenetic, hyper real approach to sound design. After the original sound track was removed, the music (Bass performance and Ableton sounds by J of The Opposite of Faith) was written and recorded into Ableton Live- every other voice, movement, moment and mood was created on Turntables and through Turntable mixing techniques (cutting, scratching, transforming) while performing to the video. The approach was expanded by having the Turntablist (DJ Quest and DJ Cplus) manipulating the Dave Smith Evolver and the Korg Kaoss Pad through the DJ mixers and MIDI control. Performances (Bass, Turntables) were record through the EMU 1616 into Ableton Live and warped, edited and combined there. The final mixdown was performed in Ableton Live and Mastered using Summit Audio Tube EQs.
This is the first in series of creative Music/Video/Art Projects by the Opposite of Faith-creativity without compromise…

Re: Video of the legendary DJ Quest in the studio
Thu, March 6, 2008 - 10:33 AMinteresting work, I like it...
I worked with a crew out
of the Northwest in 97/98
doing this work with anime,
old skool flat panel animation
and Kurosawa clips...still do
live pa media jams with some,
but most of us on the road so
much it's hard to do any work
except when we happen to
gig in the same city...do you
have a site posted with your
work? will be interested to
keep track of development...
some of the old crew and I
have discussed the possibilities
of Live's record as you play
to send files to each other
to utilize and archive as ongoing
long distance jams, perhaps utilizing
live web cam of each others gigs
in the VJ mix... -

Re: Video of the legendary DJ Quest in the studio
Thu, March 6, 2008 - 11:00 AMThanks!
So far I'm using YouTube just as the most convenient:
www.youtube.com/user/oppositeoffaith
I'm an After Effects guy so I'm really looking forward to our next work which will be some extensive video work/special effects combined with Live. To me, its important not to just do eye candy, so we're gonna do something really edgy next time. For this one we used a lot of samples from Akira, Ninja Scroll, Spirited Away, etc for the sound fx and warped them into position when necessary-Live KILLED it for that...
Thanks again-keep in touch!
