Meet Sascha Bachmann — musician and video artist exploring the place where sound becomes image.

As the musician HAND, Sascha became fascinated with frequencies and the idea that sound isn’t just heard — it can be seen. That curiosity led him into vector synthesis, oscilloscopes, and analogue video. “What excites me most about video art is the intersection between precision and unpredictability. Working with analogue systems means that accidents and imperfections often become part of the final work.”

His HEARWHATYOUSEE project translates frequencies into photography, moving image, and live audiovisual performance. He’s now expanding it through new installations, an XY plotter, and generative systems — building toward larger immersive experiences that invite people to slow down and observe the invisible structures of sound.

Meet Videodrome TV — an analog video editor and visual artist from Virginia who’s been collecting VHS since the mid 90s.

“With the use of dual VCRs, I will punch edit the VHS tape to the beat of the track while looping the audio through an analog mixer. As the tape loops and syncs, I run the source to multiple analog video mixers ranging from basic enhancers to modified mixers from the glitch art world community.”

Starting with nostalgic commercial aesthetics, Videodrome found their way to live glitch art streams during the pandemic, then onto the stage — building visuals for musicians in real time. Their signal chain runs straight into an 8 CRT wall, projecting to the crowd or rescanning for video capture.

Meet Dan Haywood (Animoscillator) — a video artist who experiments with dead media: Edirol V4s, CRTs, rescanning rigs, and the kind of analog feedback you have to chase for years before it starts answering back.

“Once I figured out feedback and how to manipulate it, I became obsessed. It was like I was struck by some arcane knowledge.”

Dan came up filming everything as a kid, then worked as a theater tech, tinkering with whatever obsolete analog gear was within reach. A Pink Floyd tribute band tour put his first Edirol V4 in his hands, and online video art forums gave him a community. Today his process leans on contentious experimentation, unpatching the rig and starting over when things stall, and a steady appetite for happy accidents.

Meet IMMA Musica — a full-time video artist from Ridgefield, Queens, whose Queens studio holds 2,000 VHS tapes, 40 CRT TVs, and a growing collection of video mixers and glitch boxes.

“That community opened my mind to glitch art and experimentation within the medium.”

IMMA’s path started with electronic music — Daft Punk, a Roland Juno-106, a synth habit that wouldn’t stop — until a train ride to Newark and a second-hand Videonics VE-1 pulled him into video synthesis for good. Now he’s building a live set that merges music and visuals in real time, rescanning CRTs with a 4K camera, and preparing for an upcoming exhibition rooted in feedback painting.
