VJ ● tomharu from Caroline Bergmann on Vimeo.

As a VJ, Caroline Bergmann aims for colourful and seemingly digitally animated aesthetics: She is
looking for a a powerful visual output which seems flashy but doesn‘t get too abstract,
never loosing its connection to analog visual performance. Her work is based on documentary video-
clips she collects in her every-day-life using a 7-year old Mini DV camera. In addition to that she sometimes adds live sampled video-loops: Therefore she generates the video by using objects on a moving Turntable-System, a macro USB camera and a Pure Data Patch (Software).
Her visual interpretations for TOMHARU lead to a concrete-abstract universe which goes hand in
hand with the the dreamy electronica of TOMHARU.

TOMHARU are a duo of Tokyo born Haruhito and current Tokyo resident (via Germany and England)
Thomas. Having got together to make music in the suburbs of the city a few years ago, the „seum“-
EP sees tomharu deliver their version of perfect bedroom electro pop. Haru‘s collection of synths
and effectors bring out memories of Kompakt & Morr at their poppiest while Tom‘s layered vocals
build up stories of young love and finding your place in a town far from what you thought of as
home.
