Star Slinger – Mornin’

24 Feb


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.

Daedelus “Righteous Fists of Harmony”

17 Feb


Astral dreams on the brink of cosmic consciousness.

Adventure Time

10 Feb


Adventure Time is one of the most hilarious and trippy shows ever to appear on American television. This is episode 1b from season 1, “Trouble in Lumpy Space.”

Twentytwohundred by Syntaks

3 Feb


From the video description: “Syntaks’ Jakob Skott created this video for the song “Twentytwohundred” (from his group’s full-length Ylajali), in which the parallels between the Danish artist’s visual and aural sensibilities are on full display. Warm, saturated colors and dreamy, abstract imagery fill the clip with a sense of nostalgic wonder, echoing the music’s romantic mingling of the real and unreal.”

A Trip To The Moon

27 Jan


Georges Méliès’ 1901 classic Le Voyage dans la Lune is a psychedelic adventure. Even more so with color and set to AIR’s new song Sonic Armada.

Go-qualia “Requiem”

20 Jan


A pitch-perfect video for Go-qualia’s Requiem, with sparkling imagery and elements of sacred geometry. It reminds me of Eckhart Tolle’s quote: “diamonds are the enlightenment of rocks.” In that sense, this video is a beautiful visual representation of enlightenment.

Omodaka

13 Jan


Omodaka (also known as Far East Recording) is a Japanese collective of visual artists and musicians. Their multimedia projects fuse traditional Japanese music, electronic elements, animation, motion graphics, and visual art pieces. Their video Asadoya Yunta (above) juxtaposes calligraphy with computer animation, contrasting various dimensions: 2d versus 3d, curvilinear versus rectilinear, organic versus synthetic. The video below, for Hietsuki Bushi, is a psychedelic animation that is as vibrant as the music that accompanies it. I have no clue what it’s about though.


Soaring through a spectral star-scape

6 Jan


This supremely chill video was made as an album teaser, but is nevertheless a delightful supernova of color set to the sounds of Stereo Silence.

Jonti “Firework Spraying Moon”

30 Dec


Strawberry skies and multi-hued dyes make for a trippy video (and song) from South African/Australian musician Jonti.

Allotropic

23 Dec


A short animation by Fred Huergo of geometric crystalline concrescence. You can almost feel the weightless flow. I only wish the video was 10 times as long.
