amorous ephemeral internet apparitions…
Fractals from Middle-Earth by Julius Horsthius set to ‘Isengard Unleashed’ by composer Howard Shore.
Seems like these guys have a pretty serious budget for animation and are not afraid of variety.
There are many flavors of psychedelia, and one–I think–is thoughtlessness. In these videos, there’s not too much to contemplate, but I’d say each is a pleasure to watch. Though I can’t recall the source, a few simple words from an album review still stick with me years and years later, “Give your brain the night off.” This weekend I provide you with three samples of 3D animation to do just that.
Legendary 1970s acid animator Vince Collins with his garish modern style still manages to trip out.
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.
“We’re lost on an artificial light;
a white that blinds our human forms.
Take me away, from this moment on we’ll be as one.”
1stAveMachine created this alien plant music video for Alias.
Here’s another plant bit they did for Quinns fruit alcohol drink.
Syncrosect is a collaboration between psychedelic trance musician Mr. Peculiar (Dustin Saalfield) and visual artist The Shapeshifter (Alex Courtney).
The idea of Syncrosect is to visually capture the vibrant energy and rich atmospheres of trance music. The system used to achieve this involves separating out individual sounds and creating animations to match. The animation loops are then composited and sequenced to precisely match the audio.
They have uploaded two of the six tracks on the DVD to Vimeo, so click on the Vimeo-text to get to the other one.
