13 DecDirectors Ben&Julia are two French-Swiss nutters, who do all sorts of graphics gigs and apparently love putting mushrooms everywhere. Take a look at their Vimeo channel and website for more, if you like the style.
Tangerine Dream – Live At Coventry Cathedral 1975
11 DecA cathedral is a multimedia work of art. It addresses all of one’s sences: the smell of incense, the coldness of it’s stone, the magnificent colored light shining from the stained glass window and the liturgical chanting help transform the believer’s conciessness into a spiritual experience.

White Noise, White Light – Is Noise to the Ears what Light is to the Eyes?
5 DecThere is something genuinely psychedelic about pure meaningless noise, what do you think? I assume it is about expanding the moment of not lacking anything, not missing any inexplicable significant “other” (to depend meaning on), the moment that is not determined by something else beyond itself. When everything is given, joy is not defined by what is missing, not limited by it’s opposit. So the research for the beauty of noise might be related to the persuit of limitless joy.
Pure and limitless presence, wouldn’t that just be the end of it all?
On the other hand, aren’t interruptions in the limitless process of signification possible?
In this interview John Cage cites Kant for saying that there are two things that don’t have to mean anything: music and laughter. Then he starts laughing…
…and then he explains a little more what he is talking about. Enjoy!

Pagan Psychedelic Puppets

Clinic – ‘The Witch’
27 NovFollowing the recent Jefferson Airplane video, Here’s one from Clinic, a Liverpool indie-rock band. The 1960’s style light shows still works for psychedelic rock, only now it has that added nostalgia that goes well with their retro chic. I started with their video for ‘The witch’ an than got to their live performance that of course applies a trippy light show, and in between found a few more nice videos that go way beyond this convention, but retain a colorful delirious look. Soon on DPV!
