Sita Sings the Blues – The Ramayana gone psychedelic

25 Feb

Sita Sings the Blues is a 2008 animated rendition of the great Indian epic The Ramayana, written, directed, produced and animated by American artist Nina Paley.

Hinduism has always had a distinct psychedelic style, but The opening sequence, which is like an animated introduction to Hindu mythology, definitely brings Hinduism even closer to it’s psychedelic days of Soma.

This second clip, from the middle of the film, also has a nice psychedelic touch.

If you liked this, you can watch the full movie (in better quality) here on YouTube.

This video for Star Slinger’s song Mornin’ has a warm 70′s-psychedelia look and sound to it. I wish every morning looked like this.

The way through MISHICBATLLABAN (2008)

21 Feb

Alexander Nemenkov made this fascinating journey to the underworld. Alexander loves the music of Yello and wanted to animate something to a cinematic piece of theirs.
Other inspiration came from: Ivan Maximov, Hayao Miyazaki, M.C. Escher, Salvador Dali, Jacek Yerka, Joe Vaux, Carlos Castaneda. And of course side-scrolling video games.

The Luck of Eden Hall is a contemporary psychedelic band with a great sound and style. What I liked especially about their clip is the way it mixes 60′s psychedelia visual style with more contemporary visuals. Enjoy.

Psychedelism does not always mean nice colors, good feeling, and perfect sensations !
It could also refer to our worst fears, to death, discomfort…and so on,
here is a example of what could be a bad trip !
