INTRODUCTION

VJ Spook (a.k.a Nick Palin), has cut his teeth with best of the Australian underground, providing innovative visual stimuli for audiences at parties all over the eastern coast of Australia.

With a strong professional background in multimedia & design spanning well over half a decade & an amateur interest in motion graphics of various media since childhood, Nick began dabbling in live performance video in 1999 & a videophile was born. Since then his style has developed through gigs secured through his association with nine09 Records (co-run with Sam Speaight), as well as various other events for promoters around Australia. This has led Spook to work on a range of the largest productions in Sydney, across a variety of musical genres, while supporting some of the freshest & greatest acts in the world today.

With techniques comparable to a DJ, Spook takes a range of video effects & sources, (including live footage, various animation styles, themed pre-prepared clips, DJ titles & logos), and mixes them together to create a visual montage intrinsically connected to the music of the event. By playing off the mood of the crowd, the artists performing, & his own experience, Spook has been said to be able to create an all-encompassing vibe to the party, filling a gap between the audience, the music & the performing artist, which can often be left void.

Spook's commitment to live spontaneity & continual experimentation has seen him build a style comparable to none, while earning him commendations from many of the global music industry's elite.
