RSAG (aka Jeremy Hickey) is a multi-instrumentalist who records, performs and produces all his own material. The 'Organic Sampler', is musically many steps further and sideways, and the genesis of the new visual experience - sound and vision hand in hand - is a multi-media rock and roll cornucopia; the future is here - look and listen.
Live RSAG plays drums / percussion and sings. The backing tracks are recorded in his studio. Visually, he has created a virtual band which is projected on a screen behind him. Think of Joy Division, Talking Heads, Fela Kuti, New York Rockers, ESG with the visual impact of the Gorillaz.
But rather than the use of animation, he aspires to a sort of shadowplay; a show of silhouettes of himself, which he utilises on disc. Think of what DJ Shadow done on his live tour of The Private Press. The impact that visual representation can have on a live show. This is so much more than just music, it is a friendly, full-sensory virus with no known cure. Get the illness soon, you deserve it.
