The Sancho Plan

The Sancho Plan are an award-winning collective that produce live audiovisual performances and installations.

Work

2005

The Sancho Plan blend a careful combination of animation, sound, music and performance to produce striking, interactive AV shows. We perform our music live while simultaneously controlling a varied cast of animated characters through an evolving musical adventure via our self-customised software and MIDI instruments such as our electronic drum pads. See edited highlights from two different live performances below...
Spacequatica: performed live at Goldsmiths, London, UK, March 2007

Spacequatica is a 12-minute piece created especially for the Future of Sound tour organised by the music legend and pioneer Martyn Ware. As we perform both the music and characters live using our drumpads, the sounds of the various characters move around the audience in 3D space through the Illustrious Company's unique 16-speaker immersive audio system. Visually and sonically, the performance takes us on a journey down through a musical ocean - from the surface, where schools of small exotic creatures are performed like phasing xylophones, through the deeper waters populated by dangerous robotic sharks, and on to the pitch black depths, where all we see and hear are rare self-illuminating species occasionally blinking out of the darkness. Massive thanks to Olly Venning & Edd Dawson-Taylor for their amazing character work.
