“Video Sampler” performance Prior Art *edit*

So my idea is inspired by my own attempts at recreating Lasseg Gjertsen’s pseudo drum machine videos.  While editing my own video I kept thinking to myself how much easier it would be if I just had a video sampler/drum machine instead of cutting up a video and plotting music on a timeline (Final Cut) that is not optimized for sequencing a beat.

so beginning with what my performance is not, here is a VJ (video jockey) set from VJ Fader.  he is controlling visuals to accompany a DJ/artists performance.

it is more akin to the MPC performances by Araab Muzik and Jeremy Ellis
