Kasabian live at TRNSMT Festival 2023 (Gary Mather)
Kasabian played Day 2 at TRNSMT Festival 2023.
Kasabian summer’s of outdoor UK shows continued up in Glasgow last weekend at TRNSMT Festival, a summer which started with the release of their new track Algorithms last month.
“The track distinguishes the difference between human and machine thought/emotion, so we employed a design process that makes a point of both physical and digital techniques wherever possible,” Serge Pizzorno said of it.
“Typesetting the artwork, preparing the video on screen, and then physically scanning the artwork and re-filming the animation with hand drawn markings overlaid.”
Facial animations were created by feeding a neural network imagery of themselves, asking it to dream up beings that exist latently between the band. The final file was then re-filmed on a bespoke display, not illuminated by RGB pixels but instead magnets, physically moving coloured particles around the screen.
