Sonical — Locker X

This fractal animation video was created by Brian May.  He wrote the music first.  While writing it, images of science fiction scenes came to him, and inspired him to make the video!
Sonical — Locker X has found it’s way into six festivals so far, in Germany, Australia, UK, Martinique, and Hong Kong!

Brian May’s musical love affair started off with playing trumpet in a Big Band Swing group at age 6. Since then he’s been a performing musician and  DJ on all 5 (livable) continents.  He hosted a 12 year long weekly drive-time, freeform radio show on Melbourne’s PBSFM. He formed and played in several bands during the ‘90s & early ‘00s in Melbourne’s overactive live scene, touring AU & NZ widely. Non-radio DJing started in the mid 90s in Australia’s developing outdoor party scene. Playing as DJ Delay as well as live Beam Up sets, many a chill floor tilted sideways from his musical selection & projection.

He’s been living between Melbourne, Osaka, and Berlin since 2002.  In Osaka, he joined the solid reggae scene, being a guest member of band Bush Of Ghosts and DJing regular underground parties across Japan.  After a year long pause in Berlin, he landed back in Melbourne (2006) and wasted no time co-founding the first regular Balkan music night the city had seen, whilst continuing to spin dubwise music, now the 2 halves of his record collection were united. In 2008 he brought the Balkan & dubwise spirit back to Berlin, DJing all over Europe and releasing 2 remix albums that pushed the boundaries of East European traditional music in a club context. New dubwise roots were planted in Berlin and set on slow cook to develop a strong cross fertilisation of musical experiences til then.

Since settling in Berlin he has produced generative sound for installations with Australian artist John Aslanidis. The two have exhibited extensively in NYC, Berlin, and Australia since 2011.

In 2013, he began making 3d and reactive animated music videos, programmed in Supercollider. Some of these have been selected for screening at film and animation festivals worldwide, and for curated industry websites.
