Live performance is highest on the agenda for Origamibiro at the moment. With two more gigs in France and a three night headlining slot for the Dublin Fringe festival in September, it's worth checking the live gigs section to see if they're playing near you.
Origamibiro has also been approached to soundtrack the Nominations for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum which will be showing at Broadway Cinema in Nottingham on 30th June. Other soundtracks currently being worked on will be advertised here when they're released for public viewing.
Tom is still in the process of writing new material for his second album. The audio clip above is a tune being worked on with double bassist and ukulele player, Andy Tytherleigh, who has become a treasured band member. There is also a collage of clips from the forthcoming album that you can have an exclusive listen to in the music section.
Video artist, Jim Boxall, aka The Joy of Box, provides real-time visuals for live performances using infra-red spy cameras and projections. He has also produced music videos and live footage with Origamibiro that can be viewed in the film section on the left. Check the 'live dates' menu for up to date info on gigs as new dates are added regularly throughout the year.
Origamibiro & The Joy of Box have also begun to produce installations. Check out the documentation for The Typophonium; an interactive audio-visual installation that produces moving images and music.

next event in novemeber
The Joy of Box and
Origamibiro run a bi-monthly
audio-visual event in Nottingham called THE BIROBOX WORKSHOPS. The
night showcases contemporary music and video performances along
with a variety of installations, projections and exhibitions, hosted in Nottingham's
finest venue - The Malt Cross - a beautiful old converted
burlesque music hall, built in 1877.
Origamibiro & The Joy of Box (or 'BiroBox' as
they hope to become more commonly known - if nothing else than to save
ink) will either perform live (enlisting their usual brand of looping riffs, textural samples and live
video projections) or showcase their own installations - one of which you can take a look at here.
Performances cover three or four separate stages of the
venue's large interior, allowing each act to perform in their own
unique space, giving the audience a varied a fresh perspective
throughout the night.
