Cosmic Flower Unfolding
7 JunAnother inspired vision from Ben Ridgway. From description: “Cosmic Flower Unfolding is a constant flow of emerging and dissolving oceanic, futuristic, and mandala forms. It is a tribute to abstraction, its connection to the inner space we inhabit and how it can be externalized.”
American pop

Trailer for the 1981 Ralph Bakshi ground breaking animated film American Pop.
The State Of The Art In Living Animation.
“American Pop” is the animated story of a very talented and troubled family starting with 19th century Russia and moving through several generations of musicians.
The film covers American music from the pre-jazz age through soul, ’50s rock, drug-laden psychadelia, and punk, finally ending with the onset of new wave in the early 1980s.
All those years, all those dreams, all those sons… one of them is going to be a star.

Emancipatore – Nevergreen
8 May
I just discovered this abstract hip hop / trip hop producer from Portland, and found his music relaxing full of melancholia !
“Emancipator’s music can not be described by just one word. To do so we’d have to combine into one: hypnosis, beauty, melancholy, a little bit of heartace and this „something” that makes shiver run down your spine.
This video — the very first Emancipator’s official video — was meant to be an experiment. Can the beauty of music match and — once again — combine totally random shots into a unity? Can we mix all those elements into one?”
