The Moment of Beauty (2014)
14 FebSubblue’s Fractal Lab (2011)
31 JanPrepare your machinic mind for a journey through these fractal-architectural dreamscapes. A 12 part series of loops by generative artist Tom Beddard, I’ve picked my favourites below (most are silent, keep your tunes going!)
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… !

Oddisee – After Thoughts
24 JanGorgeous visuals overlaid on top of one another, imagery varied but put together oh so elegantly, mightily chilled out trip-hop to accompany it all. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope this one is a suitable contribution to your weekend recreations.
Finder Fantasy (2013)
4 Jan
When Finder dreams of freedom. This is what happens when you put LSD into your Mac’s optical drive… I think we both have too many tabs open.

Fractals: The Infinite In Between
27 Dec
This is a beautiful fractal interpretation of universal patterns, appropriating sacred geometry in a sort of cosmic creation mythos. The video strikes me as a primordial stars journey in a process of fractal proliferation across the universe. Created by Minghao Xu at Void Visuals, his work wants to remind of the universal essence within us all.
Lest Ye Become a Monster
27 DecNearly everyone I’ve shown this video has said they wished they understood the lyrics. I haven’t been able to find the article for some time, but I remember years ago reading an interview in which the artist said that the video was supposed to be about people’s tendency to shape their identities according to their profession, trying to make themselves more closely resemble some kind of ideal prototype of a master of this occupation. If there are any Russian-speakers out there, maybe you can confirm or refute this?
Regardless of the meaning, there is something I find oh so visually satisfying in the marching sequence and the clay homunculus that accompanies each profession. The rap might be a bit abrasive, but now that this one’s a staple of my collection, I always find myself trying to mumble along despite not speaking a word of Russian.
And if you dig the featured artist, maybe search our archives for Lyapis Trubetskoy…
(Thank you, Warren, for showing me this years ago.)
Made from Stock
13 DecWhen a friend showed me this video for the first time, I asked him, “How would you go about making a video like this? How would you describe this vision to a director?” It turns out that you don’t. Carl Burgess was given complete freedom in creating this video for Ratatat, and the finished product was made entirely from stock footage. Here’s a full article on the production: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662128/carl-burgess-director-of-the-years-creepiest-coolest-music-video
And while the above is my favorite, I think it would be dishonest of me to post a Ratatat video for a community like the DPV without tossing in at least one more. I’d say Falcon Jab is probably the most traditionally psychedelic of their videos–that I’ve seen, anyway–but there’s just something all too human in the video for Drugs that made me choose it for my headline this Saturday.
C2C Brings the Beat
6 DecIt’s hard not to like these guys. If you can dig a bit of hip-hop, their beats are crazy smooth. If you’re an idealist about journeys into the music industry, the group is formed from four high school friends who found a passion in digging through old records and working turntables; now they’re the reigning champions at international competitions for the genre. And if by some chance you happen to have an interest psychedelic videos, theirs are off the hook. Each a very different style, each a joy to watch. They come from France, and so for now they’re bigger in Europe than in the US, but this kind of quality is bound to catch on.
