It doesn’t get more mind-bending and challenging than the modern master of video feedback Yoshihide Sodeoka… He’s just released the 21 minute video Distortion III: an eruption of noise, colour and AV complexity that will melt your visual cortex. It’s available for $5 as video on demand and download, I’ve prepared to pay the ticket and take the ride in HD and so should you. I’ll see you on the other side…
“Psychedelic Zion” follows the ups and downs of three rave organizers who operate under the banner “Peace and Love Production.” Filmed over the course of two years, director Isri Halpern follows the trio from their first ecstatic parties on the hillsides of the Galilee, into the living rooms of their religious, working-class families, and deep into the fray of their eventual and sometimes violent clashes with the police. In the midst of a public furor, they take their case to the government and the Supreme Court, fighting for the right to live out their psychedelic dreams.

Last week’s post had me gushing on the majestic beauty of the California coast, but before I was a Californian, I was (am) a Texan. Spending many of my formative years in Austin, TX, exposed me to the psychedelic, horrifying, extra-terrestrial sweet sweet genius of Roky Erickson. Demon Angel gives us a glimpse into his peculiar mind with heart melting performances by Roky. The film opens with my all time favorite Roky song Bloody Hammer. Actually, Bloody Hammer, is my all-time favorite song EVER. Check out this version:
There’s much more Roky to post, but I will save more for later to prolong the Roky experience. I hope you enjoy.
Wash out your third eye with rainbow interference colors… A thin soap film sequence, captured with a light microscope under incident illumination. The visuals are quite remarkable after the halfway point.
