Bimbo’s Initiation (1931)

20 Dec

Bimbo gets sucked into an Inception-like initiatic journey where nothing is what it seems.

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.

Morphing with Jack Dubben

15 Dec

The beautiful videos of  Jack Dubben make excellent, hyper-psychedelic use of  morphing effects.

And here is another delightful animation by Dubben.

Chris Casady – Pencil Dance (1988)

13 Dec

Cool abstract hand-drawn (and some stop-motion) effects animation piece by Chris Casady. Composited effects by Chris can be seen in Tron (1982) and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984). Check out his Youtube channel for fascinating effects sequence breakdowns.
The fluidity of the work brings to mind a possibility of visionary inspiration.

Micah Buzan – Heal the Weak

6 Dec

Hand drawn lysergic jamming.

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.

Oh Diobolo – Jay Saul

26 Nov

Jay Saul has been creating animation videos since 1983, but ” it is only recently that it is approaching possible to show them the way they look uncompressed in full resolution. ”

“The most ordinary things create visuals when one is tripping.  It is when one is not tripping–that is the challenge–to bring things back through the door.”  says Saul.

You can find some beautiful stuff among the dozens of videos featured on his YouTube page here.

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.

Dubstep is on of it’s last jewel !

It could be described as  “tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals”.

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.
