Bring your live Dj sets to light with video mapping

How did Calm collective (“Comme à la Maison”, “Just like Home”) start out and which artists are part of it?

It all started out at the UCPA DJ school. We were in the same year group and worked on many projects together over these two years.

After graduating, it was obvious we would end up working together! Each of us had their own skills and network and, even if we did have acquaintances in common, we each ended up specializing in our own field. Mr Tout Le Monde focused on music production, TMon graphic design, Astens on video mapping and Adrien Bennati on communication and PR.

How did you come up with this live DJ/VJ concept?

We conceived a lot of music performances during concerts and festivals and, musical aspects aside, we were always coming back to the visual side. This is how we started imagining concepts that combine music, light and video.

Since we got started fairly recently and we can’t afford to perform ourselves on stage, we came up with several concepts that would allow us to bring our ideas to life at home while offering a unique experience to our audience. By bringing all our skills together (music, production, and live video), we created and designed a stage ourselves… at home! Hence our concept’s name: “Comme à la maison” (“Like at home”).

We currently see our initiative as a way to showcase our skills and to let as many people as possible enjoy them. We use it as our unique selling point if you will.

Our vision is to make this a larger-scale project and to bring our show to other venues during music-related events.
