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.

Billy Ze Kick – Mangez-Moi

14 Jan

Billy Ze Kick are a French band from the 1990s, with lots of psychedelic references and overtones. Their song “Mangez-Moi” (eat me) in which the band goes mushroom picking in the forest and different magic mushrooms beg them to eat them and promise to open their minds, was a big hit in 1990s France. Apparently not everybody realized what the song was really about…

Billy Ze Kick also had a very funny song about OCB rolling papers.

All these songs are much funnier when you speak French (I don’t, but I had some French speaking people explain them to me).

Norman McLaren – Begone Dull Care 1949

12 Jan

Norman McLaren was an oscar winning animation director who did some groundbreaking work from the 1940s to the 1970s. McLaren “Begone Dull Care” from 1949, was painted directly on film, to create a visual representation of Oscar Peterson’s superb piano – perhaps one of the first video clips ever.

McLaren’s work has a special exploratory quality. You can find more of it on YouTube.

Benjamin did some 3D animations, printed them out and messed around with the prints with watercolours and stuff. Sure makes that CGI look lots more organic.

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.
