Music and video production from the late Guru Josh.
In his own words:
I thought, why not mix computer graphics to music and sell them as a visual album. There was no market. Woolworth’s and HMV said if you sell 2 thousand that’s good. Visual videos do not sell.
Despite no market I believed this was the next big thing and put my money, over 150 grand into digital video equipment, computers. I took 15 unemployed computer kids on the street, converted the 2nd and third floor of a building into visual design studios and spent the next 9 Months creating a 50 min video called Dr devious and the Wisemen, VR Dance in cyberspace, I was DR Devious but no one knew, the only hint was the company, GJ productions.
That video sold 220,000 copies and set a world trend. Dr Devious was the coolest character in the world, and no one knew who he was.
Nature. Dance. Naturedance. Beauty in motion. Camellia Nieh in another beautiful psychedelic reflection on dance and nature.
She also gives a beautiful quote from Sufi mystic master Rumi.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
_Rumi
The Animation is from “Голубой щенок” (“Blue Puppy”).

It’s amazing what you can achieve with a crystal ball and some fluids…
“An ode to planet earth, solely told with organic fluids and a tiny crystal ball.
Sometimes, the complexity of simplicity makes us fail to preserve the fundament of all we are and all we represent. But reaching awareness is not about the end, it is about the beginning. SINGULARITY takes us back to zero hour, 4.5 billion years back in time. It is the story of an indescribable hazard and a singular fortune: the fortune of being a human.
This is organic FX from terracollage. Household ingredients and ink. Strictly 2D, no CGI.”
Directed by Vladimir Pekar in The Soviet Union. Some really nice trance dance moments in this and all around great character designs.
