Tron Lennon is the collaborative performance project of Paul Bell (turntables) and John Ferguson (guitar). In their improvised performances, they integrate recorded material - audio and visual - by using it as a source to be mixed into a greater whole. Bell uses Ms Pinky VJ software to manipulate digital video via turntables, enabling him to finely control the speed and direction of clips, as well as allowing him to incorporate sounds from records with conventional mixing techniques. Ferguson, while contributing processed guitar sounds with unconventional modes of production, uses Max/Jitter and live camera feeds to weave performance gestures into re-recorded and synthetically generated visuals. The project has been nominated for the transmedile08 Award.
