The Sancho Plan are a rock ‘n‘ roll band for the 21st Century – a rare alchemy of posturing musicians, precision animators, intuitive designers and craftwise coders. Citing influences as diverse as Oscar Fischinger, Len Lye, Wassily Kadinsky, Salvador Dali, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton, Kruder and Dorfmeister and King Tubby they fuse together animation, music and sound, gaming, technology and live performance to produce unique live AV experiences.
They focus on the live environment - delivering their work through physical, skilful and carefully choreographed presentation using cutting-edge technology to push at the forefront of live audiovisual performance but in such a way that the complexity of their machinery is almost invisible.
Their current works use a range of electronic drum pads to trigger sounds and simultaneously control a cast of animated characters and virtual performers, allowing users/viewers to experience an evolving musical journey through The Sancho Plan universe - a dystopian alternate reality featuring parallel animated worlds that reside somewhere between 'Fantasia' and 'The Animatrix’.
