30 AugVial of Sound – A Lifetime Passed
27 AugMore squishy swarms from Ori Toor. A quote from Ori about his workflow:
The animation is made frame by frame in Flash. Sometimes I replicate in flash too. I replicate and group loops together in After Effects where I also play with the colors (pre colored in Flash and lightly manipulated with AE). I don’t use any special plugin. It is mostly “manual” work.
“Psyché Rock” by Pierre Henry
25 Aug
“Psyché Rock” (from Messe pour le temps présent) by musique concrète master Pierre Henry is a true classic of psychedelic culture. It moves effortlessly between popular material (Louie Louie, the fuzzy sound of psychedelic rock, etc.) and avant-garde techniques of sound manipulation.
You can find all kinds of remixes and versions of the influential track for example by Fatboy Slim, Coldcut, Stereolab, Moog Cookbook, etc. and of course probably the most popular: the Futurama theme.

Jemapur – Clarte
2 Aug
Animation by Genki Ito. From video description: “Taking as its inspiration the sub-atomic world of a nuclear fusion reaction, Clarte visually re-imagines this microcosm into a beautifully poetic animation, pulsing and flowing along with Jemapur’s dark and textured sound. Experimenting with HDV recording, analog footage of milk floating on water, sediment in rotten wine, and caustics from reflected projector lights were all incorporated into the digital animation.”
