Since 2017, we have specialised livestreaming to all social media platforms with our unique twist. It all began with our entrance into the Sony VX series and finding ways to stream with outdated technology, while bridging the gap to current interfaces. Now we have a whole fleet of mini-dv VX cameras, streaming events is a thrill. For enquiries, email [email protected]

A little BTS of CVBS Collective's video mix featured on melt. mix #15 Grumbl cover artwork (still).

Connect Video Broadcast Sequence (CVBS), is a video artist collective, specialising in installations and analogue hardware VJing. The collective evolved naturally from 56K’s expanding video installation operations. The CVBS aesthetic is based on the manipulation of video feedback, pattern and colour to produce textural landscapes.

CVBS primarily operate in a live music context, mixing video that reacts to the environment in real-time using a mix of automated and manual techniques based on audio and video inputs.

Using a fleet of refurbished Cathode Ray Televisions (CRT’s) as it’s canvas, CVBS specialises in creating installations based on the configuration of these units. They currently operate two large TV collections, which can be stacked into a rectangular video wall set-up, allowing for Multiplexing (displaying one giant image across all the units).

New Tape 'Honest Day' by '56K Records' is now available at our Bandcamp!

A little quick something we at 56K Records decided to whip up.

'Honest Day' is about a hard day's work, yet through recent events of stay-at-home work, much of the connotations around this have been misconstrued. The past year or so we have worked in our pyjamas, underwear, on the couch, in the backyard or from bed - using trips to the supermarket as recreational activity, or just walks around the block.
