Tina Frank & General Magic

General Magic and Tina Frank (Germany and Austria).
General Magic is a duo consisting of Ramon Bauer and Andi Pieper, co-leaders of the Mego label (along with Peter Rehberg). GM's favourite "playgrounds" are software exploration, ski pistes and motor sport circuits, whilst they also brilliantly demonstrate how to create post-modern hymns with shards of popular music. GM play here with a visual accompaniment - Tina Frank, a graphic artists with uniquely pixelated visions, previously collaborating with GM and others on Mego videos and a former member of the audio/visual band SKOT.

"I've just played at Lovebytes together with Tina Frank and Andy I didn't really see the projection because I was sitting with my back to the screen. It's the kind of thing we normally do, a kind of family business, we're close. Some project will always bring us to the UK, of course we loved to come to Lovebytes though:) I enjoyed the performance…now I need a beer!" Ramon from General Magic
"I enjoyed it, it went pretty well. It was 95% what we thought it would be. We have played in cinemas a few times so we know the atmosphere" Andy from General Magic
"I enjoyed the performance, I wasn't facing the audience but I like to see the visuals to see the way the audience see it. We've been doing this kind of thing together for about a year now. I've been watching the panel discussion today but unfortunately we're going tomorrow, I don't know why because I would really like to stay! I really enjoyed the graphics on the flyers this year" Tina Frank
