The GONG UNCON (VENTIONAL) Gathering
I was the producer of a series of concerts in Amsterdam in Nov 2006 featuring the GONG band and related friends and associates, many of whom are well known in their own right.
I had a team of 5 professional cameramen, 3 ex BBC , in the Melkweg
Club for three days. We filmed more than 10 bands and recorded the
audio on 48 track 24bit HDD Alesis HD24's
I have been editing and mixing the recordings since then and have currently completed releases for the following acts.

A world first featuring musicians playing glissando or bowed guitar as
pioneered by Syd Barret, Daevid Allen and Jimi Hendrix.
Nine International guitarists improvise 49 minutes of music inspired by the 7 Chakras of the Hindu tradition. Mixed in 5.1 dolby surround with psychedelic vision mix. A treat.
The UNCON Extras
featuring one song each from 10 of the partaking bands - Hadouk, Kangaroo Moon, Mother Gong. Here and Now, AMG, University of Errors, System 7, House of Thandoy, Crystal Machine, Steve Hillage Band together with
interviews, coach and hotel madness and much incidental and other
special footage which makes a good introduction to the story of one of
the most influential acts of the sixties and seventies, still playing
in the Naughties

I have also been asked to do a psychedelic video mix for Steve Hillage Band which I also filmed at that event, for release in 2008. I am looking forward to this - it will be a pleasure, Steve.
