Electronic musicians can be terrible live acts: What’s the point of seeing someone stand on stage behind a laptop, hitting a return key? No wonder then that artists such as Daft Punk and Justice amp up their shows with elaborate visual displays. Tom Jenkinson, aka Squarepusher, is another such performer, and unlike the rest, he does the music and the visuals himself.
Squarepusher presents 'Dark Steering' taken from forthcoming album 'Ufabulum' out on 15th May

"For a while I had apocalyptic nightmares about trails of nuclear missiles in the night sky. So I aimed to recreate that strange combination of exhilaration, terror and sadness both visually and emotionally through this piece. It lead to the idea of a spacecraft leaving earth at vast speed to escape, but oddly the music also made me think of it flying through a library. So I generated the visual aspect such that, as the piece progresses, it seems as if the viewer is ever accelerating through massive corridors of books."
