Curious Alice 1971
4 Feb
This drug abuse educational film portrays an animated fantasy based upon the characters in “Alice in Wonderland.” The film shows Alice as she toured a strange land where everyone had chosen to use drugs, forcing Alice to ponder whether drugs were the right choice for her. The “Mad Hatter” character represents Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), the “Dormouse” represents sleeping pills, and the “King of Hearts” represents heroin. Ultimately, Alice concluded that drug abuse is senseless.

Alex Krygier psyclips
28 JanI discovered the songs of this guy via the radio here in my French hometown, so went to check on the web for some music clips, and found a really interesting and trippy world going around Alex Krygier from Argentina ! This guy is a genius, his style ? as he describes it: voodoo cumbia, peruvian surf, tropical klezmer, andean twist… !

Dedicated to everyone embarking on inner and outer trips this weekend with your closest associates… [also happy ‘straya weekend!]
Oddisee – After Thoughts

Illuminati Destroyer // Renard Frak
21 Jan
From one of my favorite psy-contributor // Renard Frak
he usually gives himself three artistic directives for his new creations as he notices:
1) I have to create the melody based on the improvised percussion that I begin with. I then sort out the best rhythms, and I apply a different note from a diatonic range to each drum (using the trigger technique). From this mess, I keep only the melodies that stand out on their own.
2) I draw inspiration from the period when the Beatles were at their most eccentric. The sitar kicks serious ass, let’s reintroduce it in our music !
3) The video must be inspired by the roaring twenties (1920), outrageously eccentric, as close to real life, from the pure feeling of creation, by eliminating as much as possible all cartesian reflexes.
22) It will be what it will be ! And anyway, being a Utopian, I believe that true democracy no longer exists, that we live in a lie, that we must free our minds from the manipulation of the mass media and large corporations hungry for power, blood and money. Let us give us back the title of citizen and not merely voter. So, like it or not, it is reflected in my creations …
All of this, because I consider that everything sounds the same these days. The music scene needs to be shaken up, we need to have laboratories of creation. Also, mixing items that do not go together has always fascinated me. And trying to wake our consciences by all possible means, even those never envisaged, at least it’s a start …
