Having developed tools to allow the triggering, compositing and mixing of imagery to be ‘played’ like or with percussion instruments,He has become interested in parallels between the relationships of improvised music to non-improvised music, and documentary filmmaking (in particular observational documentary or cinéma vérité) to scripted filmmaking. Robinson and Derek Richards have been collaborators on a range of projects for some years. These artistic collaborations have seen Richards performing as a live visual artist although he is also known in his own right as a respected percussionist.
