This is probably an unofficial music video for Bergwein by Efdemin, but worth to watch and listen to. If you liked this one, you’ll probably want to hear Spark by Lawrence too. Both release their music on Dial, which is having a Dial Records Night on August 29th at the Panorama Bar in Berlin.
Macaframa is the name of a crew of track bike riders but also the name of a film about them. In this first clip you can see a quite impressive skid by Nate Gogol. But actually all their clips on Vimeo are worth watching, some of them were shot with a high speed camera and the image quality is just lush.
And this is the trailer:

Ah … French pop music, if it looks good, I could be interested. So this is the new music video for ‘Ce Jeu’ by Yelle. It was directed by Yoann Lemoine and styled by Jean Paul Lespagnard.
Can it be more French than that? Colorful!
‘Made In Queens‘ is a short documentary directed by Nicolas Randall and Joe Stevens. It’s about a small crew of 6 Trinidadian teenagers in Queens, New York, who customize their BMX bikes with huge soundsystems. They gave their bikes even names:
Basszilla, which looks definitely louder than in that November 2007 The New York Times article.

Mary Ellen Bute was a American pioneer film animator. Here are 3 of her 14 short abstract music films, made between 1934 and 1953.

Timbap is a platform-independent application for augmented DJing. It was developed by students and assistants of the University of Ulm (Germany). It provides a rugged tangible interface for browsing your music collection and manipulating playback by scratching, pitching, skipping etc. Like many others it is based on an acoustic timecode signal recorded to vinyl records. In contrast to existing digital solutions however, it completely releases the DJ from mouse, keyboard and monitor. Instead it relies on physical interaction with the standard club turntable only.
It still sounds quite strange, right? So basically it is a projected video interface for selecting mp3’s. Maybe this video will make it all clear to you.
Guessing from the amount of student DJ projects, there are a lot of bedroom DJ’s among the students out there.

Tonight is the premiere of the second season of Mad Men. Yeah! If you live in the USA at least. But if you want to catch up and see the first season, then you’ll have to get this DVD box
For those of you don’t know what Mad Men is all about:
The series (set in the 1960s) revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper, the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.
Fold Loud is a musical interface by JooYoun Paek.
Playing Fold Loud involves folding origami shapes to create soothing harmonic vocal sounds. Each fold is assigned to a different human vocal sound so that combinations of folds create harmonies. Users can fold multiple Fold Loud sheets together to produce a chorus of voices. Opened circuits made out of conductive fabric are visibly stitched onto the sheets of paper which creates a meta-technological aesthetic. When the sheets are folded along crease lines, a circuit is closed like a switch. Thus, the interface guides participants to use repetitive delicate hand gestures such as flipping, pushing and creasing. Fold Loud invites users to slow down and reflect on different physical senses by crafting paper into both geometric origami objects and harmonic music.
You can find a video on her website.
