In May 2013 the classic "AV" set, which Atom™ performed from 2007 until January 2013, was replaced by the new "HD/AV" set (which, as the name suggests, contains material from his "HD" album). "HD/AV" was premiered at the Montreal "Elektra Festival" on the 3rd of May of the same year. The "HD/AV" show, just as the classic "AV" set is a semi-improvised audio-visual set. The show is partly pre-programmed, partly improvised and executed using an extremely reduced technical setup. Just one machine is used to control audio and video, which are played, altered and re-organized in real time. While audio is "playing" the video data, with the alteration of sound, modifications of the visuals are produced. Much less so than the old "AV" show, "HD/AV" can be considered much more abstract, in the sense as that it does not contain scenes of different styles or energetic intensities. Various set types have been produced and performed so far, which ranged from short, 45 minute "festival sets" (Sonar Barcelona 2013, where it was voted into the festival's "top 10") up to 70 minute "full sets" (Moscow, June 2013). "HD/AV" will be performed world wide from 2013 onwards.
