about the artists:
From a very young age, Randy Esulto knew two things for certain.
He loved music, and he loved to entertain. 13 years later as VJ
20/15 he gets to indulge in both.
Brad
Swindell brings the mash-up concept to live video mixing.
TV, movies and found footage are looped and scratched real-time
to music, and the next thing you know Celebrity Boxing is playing
to Radiohead and Bollywood clips are jumping to Basement Jaxx
beats. For a sample of the swindleVision show, check out his website,
or better yet check it out live at Monkey Town.
Zarah

works with video to create visual songs. Zarah’s video compositions
and explorative films have been exhibited throughout New York
