Apocalypse

APOCALYPSE is a music/visual piece conceived and written by Glasgow based composer Anthea Haddow and written for the astonishing trumpet player, Mark O'Keeffe. Mark is principal trumpet for the BBCSSO and seems willing to do anything...

I was commissioned by Theatre Cryptic in 2005 to develop and design interactive visuals for this show. The work had to fit in with a pre-existing lighting scheme and stage design. The project involved two live camera sources, three computers, two plasma screens, four floor monitors and two data projectors. The computers were synchronised via a local network and controlled with a single Control Freak midi interface.

Commissioned by Cork 2005: European Capital of Culture. Concept by Mark O'Keeffe; music by Anthea Haddow; directed and designed by Cathie Boyd; lighting by Nich Smith; real time visuals by Martin Parker. Performed by Mark O'Keeffe and six trumpeters. Executive Producer Richard Wakely. http://www.cryptic.org.uk
