today and tomorrow

This is the closest I’ll get to a beach for the next few weeks, “Pitaya Frenesí” by Rebolledo feat. Matias Aguayo.

“The Animatic” is a Rube Goldman machine developed by Yuri Suzuki and Household. It is actually a three-dimensional music video. A record player triggers a chain of small individual animating machines. These are all based on simple animation techniques from flick books to shadow puppets. The viewer follows a chain of machines to piece together a narrative. By the time the viewer reaches the end of the song they will have seen in essence a music video for the chosen record, which in this instance is “Memphis Tennessee”, a Silicon Teens cover of the classic track by Chuck Berry.

The music video for “I Will Glam” by Pedro Marín is the first one ever that you can view on teletext. Actually you can only see it on channel four in Spain, between May 18th and May 29th between 21.00 and 23.00, on page 899. Great Works are the creatives behind this. You can find some more background information here.
By the way, I turned off the volume very quickly after the video started, just to warn you.

The ARS Electronica Center in Linz, Austria, has quite an impressive facade. It is actually a huge display, 1085 windows are equiped with fully controllable LED’s.
“Lights On” is an audio visual performance, the visual programming with openFrameworks was done by Zachary Lieberman, Joel Gethin Lewis and Damian Stewart. Daito Manabe did the music with support from Taeji Sawai and Kyoko Koyama. The colors of the LED’s changed in realtime to the music that was broadcasted on speakers surrounding the building. They recorded the output, both the music and LED animation for later replay.

“Dark Night of the Soul” is the title of the new album of Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse. Yes you know Danger Mouse, he is one half of Gnarls Barkley but he became quite famous in 2004 when he released The Grey Album. This new album sounds quite different, there are actually many guest featured on it like Frank Black, The Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop and David Lynch to just name a few. EMI decided not to release it due to some legal issues. Danger Mouse decided to release it anyway, the catch … there’s a blank CD-R inside the jewel case. If you want to fill the CD-R, then you might want to look on you favorite P2P platform. You can buy one of the 5000 hand numbered ones for $50 form the website. (Shipping to Europe will cost you $80.85 extra!!!). It comes with a 100+ page book with photographs by David Lynch and an extra poster. You can listen listen to the tracks on the NPR website.
Way to go Danger Mouse! Eat that EMI!

This music video for Rusty Naily by Moderat fits perfectly to my last post about the photography of William Hundley. Last night was actually the record release party at WMF in Berlin and it was quite hot. I didn’t know the support act Anstam before, but I really liked them. It’s almost impossible to find anything on these 2 German brothers, you can listen to their tracks on MySpace. Dark!

UPDATE 15/05/09 15:05:
The record label BPitchControl took down the video, apparently they are still quite old school.
Thumbs down!
But I found this 30 seconds excerpt, sorry for the b*tt ugly flash player.

I’ve been listing to “Moth” by Burial & Four Tet all afternoon. So why not another time?

This is the music video for Sansula by Dominik Eulberg, directed by Dirk Rauscher. They projected animations in a forrest and then filmed them, the details shots of the flowers where done in a stopframe method with a DSLR camera. The result is excellent!
If you like this, then you will be blown away by Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing.

“A New Error” is definitely the best track on the new Moderat record. They should have skipped all the vocal tracks, terrible stuff. But I could listen to this one in a infinite loop. You might wanna click the HD button if you like it. (The video doesn’t have any visuals, just the track.)

David Oreilly made these stage visuals for Bang by M.I.A, in the end she didn’t use them for her Coachella gig. Do what the sound say!
