Directed by Tero Suomela, this won the 2010 Spring New York International Independent Film and Video Festival award for the best music video.
Syncrosect is a collaboration between psychedelic trance musician Mr. Peculiar (Dustin Saalfield) and visual artist The Shapeshifter (Alex Courtney).
The idea of Syncrosect is to visually capture the vibrant energy and rich atmospheres of trance music. The system used to achieve this involves separating out individual sounds and creating animations to match. The animation loops are then composited and sequenced to precisely match the audio.
They have uploaded two of the six tracks on the DVD to Vimeo, so click on the Vimeo-text to get to the other one.
A 3rd millenium version to the 60’s style psychedelia, after a Beatles song.

And yet another beautiful Cornelius video. Not just supplementing the sound, the visuals add a voice of their own. Enjoy the harmony of your senses!
Please view in HD !
“Something arises. See if it can arise without a witness. It’s not happening to you… There is nothing you need to change. Stand on your own. Like phenomena come, so they go… Only don’t give any image to this witness. Examine thoughts’ credentials. Pay attention to the watcher. See if the seer itself has a shape… (Mooji)
This is a one-shot video, that to my opinion makes the most of the trail effect. I recommend the really sweet making-of video, where they coin the oh-so-useful term “Psychediculous”
Two things we won’t see exhausted soon: the couplings of psychedelic visuals and electronic music and the beauty emerging from the kaleidoscopic effect. Enjoy!
