Sur le Quai

16 Dec


This video for “On the Platform” by The Bewitched Hands is a visual revelry, telling the story of dimensional conquest driven by love. Perhaps an archetypal allegory for all evolutionary leaps.

Blackbird Blackbird – Pure

9 Dec


This video evokes altered-state imagery that will be familiar to many viewers. The black grid lines, jewel-like colors, and hints of embarkation, observation, and approach are especially redolent. The patterns integrate into the subject matter to create a formscape reminiscent of hyperspatial modalities. The visual rhythm is cohesive and masterfully executed to compliment the Blackbird Blackbird song Pure.

The Microcosm is the Macrocosm

2 Dec


This Yeasayer video goes seasonally psychedelic as it follows a cycle of birth and rebirth in our spiral galaxy.

The Sophie Aerolith

25 Nov


A dazzling display of geometric color, shimmering and morphing. I think that this is what Terence McKenna’s “transcendental object at the end of time” would look like if it could translate from hyperspace into 3 dimensions.

RIVKA + Baron Prášil

18 Nov


A great video for an outstanding song. Footage from the film Baron Prásil (the ’60s Czech version of The Fabulous Baron Munchausen) set to RIVKA’s “Kid Animal.” This song is from RIVKA’s eponymous debut album, which in my opinion is some of the most brilliant music of 2011. It’s like a metaphysical birthday cake for your brain. You can stream the full album here to make your Friday a little more psychedelic.

Panaframe

11 Nov

Panaframe has an excellent Vimeo page, with several lively music videos of shimmering vistas to activate all the right endorphins. Here are two to get you started:



For those of us in the northern hemisphere who wish it was still summer, an iridescent tropical daydream for “In the Water” by Beat Connection.



And in this video, prismatic visuals highlight the ethereal sounds of “Upperground Stories” by Plastic Flowers.

Rain Tears by Get People

4 Nov

This video utilizes a collage-like style to integrate clips into a psychedelic composition which ascends from terrestrial to celestial realms.
