It was the beginning of a new cycle for Gong. A new album, a new label, a new drummer, a new synthesizer wiz, and a new agency with the potential for a fresh management vision. This was our first gig of the 2000 naughty naughties & aside from three thoroughly distracted rehearsals we hadn't played together for five months. To add to the pressure the gig was going out as webcast & eventually become a DVD & live CD. Somehow when the day came we forgot all this & it all morphed into a huge fluorescent fancy dress party with a bunch of our old tribal pals & friends old & new in a club in Portobello Rd. - for years the epicentre of our London lifetimes. Recorded live at the Subterania Club, London, at the 'Zero 2 Infinity' CD launch party/gig in April 2000.

This video is a piece of pure visual music: a synchronous visual and musical canon. Each musical phrase corresponds to a visual movement: in this case, a filling of the visual plane with a color. The color fields are flat, corresponding to an unadorned melody, and the animated transitions give a visual form to the musical form. The animation is offset in time and composited atop itself to create a visual analog to a musical canon. Each visual layer fills the plane just as each musical tone of each voice is heard. Harmony of counterpoint is achieved visually with these overlapping layers.
