Oh Diobolo – Jay Saul

26 Nov

Jay Saul has been creating animation videos since 1983, but ” it is only recently that it is approaching possible to show them the way they look uncompressed in full resolution. ”

“The most ordinary things create visuals when one is tripping.  It is when one is not tripping–that is the challenge–to bring things back through the door.”  says Saul.

You can find some beautiful stuff among the dozens of videos featured on his YouTube page here.

The Sophie Aerolith

25 Nov


A dazzling display of geometric color, shimmering and morphing. I think that this is what Terence McKenna’s “transcendental object at the end of time” would look like if it could translate from hyperspace into 3 dimensions.

The Autechre Sound and Vision

20 Nov

The Autechre sound and the famous congenial video clip by Alex Rutterford offer an explicitly synthetic synaestetic experience to our senses. The computer generated textures of image and sound recall the promise of a limitless richness to our modern days once again. And this time (again) the creatio ex nihilo is in the hands of man… and it is rather available compared to heavy industry. The promise of the artificial paradise grows in the vast amount of “unofficial videos” created to the sound of Autechre and similar artists.

I think this version of the promise of an artificial paradise is typical for the 90’s and early 00’s.

RIVKA + Baron Prášil

18 Nov


A great video for an outstanding song. Footage from the film Baron Prásil (the ’60s Czech version of The Fabulous Baron Munchausen) set to RIVKA’s “Kid Animal.” This song is from RIVKA’s eponymous debut album, which in my opinion is some of the most brilliant music of 2011. It’s like a metaphysical birthday cake for your brain. You can stream the full album here to make your Friday a little more psychedelic.

Panaframe

11 Nov

Panaframe has an excellent Vimeo page, with several lively music videos of shimmering vistas to activate all the right endorphins. Here are two to get you started:



For those of us in the northern hemisphere who wish it was still summer, an iridescent tropical daydream for “In the Water” by Beat Connection.



And in this video, prismatic visuals highlight the ethereal sounds of “Upperground Stories” by Plastic Flowers.

Magnificently delightful color blotches.
