The future is definitely in integrating visual effects into live performances!

There is this beautiful word in the (not always pretty) german language: Augenblick. It means something similar to proverbial “blink of an eye”. But while “blinking” is the ephemeral moment that interrupts the view, “Blick” is more like “glance”, an ephemeral mode of seeing. Now dear old Mr. Goethe has phrased “Der Augenblick ist Ewigkeit”. This sentence simply asserts that the “Augenblick”, the ephemeral moment is eternity. While this might look like a contradiction at first, it actually describes the most common experience: every single Augenblick passes instantly — and this one thing will never change.
This video, created by Joe Wakeman for the Brooklyn lo-fi psych rock shoegaze band, The Yin Yangs, was produced in HS-C feedback and oil projections, created during an acid trip and layered and matted in editing, inspired by the work of Stan Brakhage. Enjoy.
Since I seem to have been posting nothing but psychedelic shoegaze videos lately, this week I’ll keep the pattern going with “Goodbye” by Asobi Seksu.
Have fun!
