Moderat in Montreal, an A/V experience
Unplanned, I went to the show of Moderat (Modeselektor + Apparat + Pfadfinderei) in Montreal. And they crafted a pretty good scene experience. Pretty solid minute by minute show, very progressive. Modeselektor and Pfadfinderei have collaborated before and you can see that clearly.
My first impressions (somehow important) where that the music has some resemblance to Boards of Canada (great), and the visual, except being mostly based on abstract real footage, reminded me of the good old demoscene time in its progressive style (please stay with me reference below 
).
Here is the teaser of the show : http://www.vimeo.com/3837671
The video just teases you but if it works you can find all the videos of the show with previews on iTunes : here.
And there is a DVD available at retail (who uses that, now ? )
So about the demoscene, here is one of the best intros of the kind : Rise by Mindforce and Park studios
Here’s a little playlist, including some of the best Halcyon work and Kosmoplovci, there is no youtube video of minimalanimal, at your own risk ). There are much more so feel free to complete it.

Haha, people still remembers minimalanimal, amazing.
Although there are 2 or 3 serious works, the actual thing was a joke, but some weren’t able to do crap stuff and ended up doing alright stuff.
Kosmoplovci would have been a better link I think

Trace, you know what ? You’re right !
I just didn’t recall the name… But minimalanimal who could forget that !
I just added some of Kosmoplovci’s work to the playlist.
Thanks, happy to know you’re around !

I don’t know what happened but all the videosclips have just disappeared from itunes. Too bad I was going to buy it.

The videos are back on itunes, but there are not all here. It seems to be the dvd selection, not all from the show.
