Pretty Lights
10 JanMy lifestyle has allowed me to step in and out between life in the city and life in rural America. I’m about to give up the cities for quite a long while, and videos like this do well in capturing what it is that I’m going to miss. Day to day lives of people in all different states of mind and stages in life, all of it melting together in the streets. Briefly and constantly. If you’ve only got time for one video, and you’re feeling something mellow, existential, anthropological, I’d take the first one. If you’re in need of something with a bit more energy and want more of a ride than a people-watching experience, maybe give Door Number 2 a try.

Psychedelic Rock is one of the feature that can lead to doors of perception opening,
and who had never experienced a single trip without it cannot tell that he knows what is Psychedelia 🙂 !
Olexa – Jellyfish [Music Video]
5 JanWatching this amazing luminescent jelly fish ambient music video brought me to awe. These jellyfish sometimes seem ethereal and at other times more creepy, but they are always mesmerizing to watch.

Antichamber

If something that is described as “brain melting” just sounds more interesting to you and if you love the idea to be able to buy a ticket for one of Maurits Cornelis Escher’s nightmares then Antichamber might be just the game for you.
Finder Fantasy (2013)
4 Jan
When Finder dreams of freedom. This is what happens when you put LSD into your Mac’s optical drive… I think we both have too many tabs open.

Single Wing Turquoise Bird : Excerpt Two from Invisible Writing
4 JanSWTB have performed live psychedelic visuals since the mid 1960s. After performing with bands including Cream, The Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, Pink Floyd, The Who, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and The Grateful Dead, the collective disbanded in 1975. Lucky for us, they re-formed in 2009 and have been performing with musician Miroslav Tadic.

Single Wing Turquoise Bird Says:
“This clip is a brief excerpt from “Invisible Writing”, a recording commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver as part of the traveling exhibition “West of Center: Art and the Counterculture Experiment in America”. The original 47-minute piece is a high definition record of live performance in which the eight artists of Single Wing Turquoise Bird project improvised dynamic compositions upon a single screen. Miroslav Tadic’s musical score forms a responsive weave of sound and image.
