This project has been developed concurrently with my own interest in modular videosynthesis, my para-musical project that kept me occupied during the isolation of the recent trips around the sun. This machine, or rather collection of small machines, useselectricity to create visual imagery in a manner analogous to how a musical synthesizeroperates with sound. Thus, my performance will be instrumental, operating in adiscrete bandwidth of the electromagnetic spectrum, yet in the same time phase as themusical instrumentalists. It is now my great pleasure to share our collective discoveries with you in person, and inthis gorgeous hemisphere. Be advised that there may be rapid flashing and bright lights. This is normal with virtualinterstellar travel, but please feel free to cover your eyes if the intensity is overwhelming.Thank you for trusting us on this voyage.

Last Friday we had a beautiful sold out night at a theatre in Halifax to launch the album Old Traveller into the world. My brother Michael Adzich came and sang some of his beautiful songs and then I was joined by these lovely folks u see in the picture… Lukas Pearse, Coco Harris, Claire Hunter and Robert Sherwood. Thank you to all of you who made it out through the pouring rain to sing with all your heart and co-create such a magical experience ❤️
The limited edition accompanying book of stories about the songs, plus all lyrics and chords is available through the link in my bio. The album is now streaming, search “Jont old traveller”.
