The Burn Units -> ALIVE

The Burn Units – ALIVE – feat Gigi Rüf, Ståle Sandbech & Arthur Longo from Burn on Vimeo.

Notes from Vimeo:

“This planet is alive. If only we could know what it knows, see what it sees. Sometimes you feel like it’s trying to tell you something, showing you where to look, how to see. Lighting up [...]

Phil Collins Day Parade? -> Brooklyn, NYC

Yes, this is an odd one. But based on the excitement coming from a local Seattle DJ this morning, who discovered this and posted it on her blog… I think there may be some potential for this phenomenon to become a trend. And why not? In 2010 we saw dozens of cities partake in the whole Zombie [...]

The Greenhornes -> Saying Goodbye (Live on KEXP)

Last week while commuting in to work I was lucky enough to hear this new track called ‘Saying Goodbye’ by the Greenhornes on KEXP radio. It was a clear morning, and Mt. Rainier was not only beaming in the rising sun (which is impressive enough), it was also sporting a massively epic plume of snow [...]

DJ Light (DJ Luz), Lima 2010 -> Cinimod Studio

76 Synthesizer -> iPad App Concept

The above life-like synth iPad app concept was created by talented designer and developer Jonas Eriksson, based in Sweden and Los Angeles. Myself being a bit of a musician, I love to see great app design that is inspired by retro analog recording equipment, tube amps and other old school audio interfaces. That kind of aesthetic [...]

LT24 -> Experimental Timelapse Video

This amazing timelapse was created by Architect, pianist, videographer, graphic designer and composer Lucio Arese.

Notes from Vimeo page:

“LT24 is an experimental timelapse movie directed by Lucio Arese with Ametsub soundtrack, bringing an original technique that links images and music together through timelapse.

The film depicts a 24 hours [...]

Mtv Music Meter -> Social Powered Chart

It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything interesting from Mtv but this is pretty nice. It’s a top 100 music chart that is purely fed from social buzz, which is cool because it’s less about corporate hype and more about what people are actually digging. The design is simple, dynamic and shareable. I wonder [...]

Motor/Ambient Reel -> KU-SCHNEIDER

I tried to grab some complimentary screen shots of the video below designed and produced by German motion and graphics designer KU-Schneider. The stills are quite beautiful, but you have to experience the luminous animation and motion design by watching this video full screen. The constant changing of the the neon rod’s depth of field accompanied [...]

As The Stars Fall -> Artificial Sun

As The Stars Fall – Artificial Sun from AS THE STARS FALL on Vimeo.

I really enjoy the sounds, sights and overall aesthetic of this music video coming from Paris, France based music group ‘As the Stars Fall’. I feel that the very personal and candid approach to the video production gives the already magical soundtrack [...]

Musically Inspired Album Covers -> Simon Page

I came  across some fairly new works by Simon Page on his Flickr stream yesterday, which then led me to his Behance page. Apparently, he’s been working hard on a lot of album covers. The above covers were all inspired by ‘simply listening to the music’, as he states on his Behance project page. The [...]

Cloud Cult -> There's So Much Energy In Us (Live on KEXP)

An old friend of mine from back east (NYC) turned me on to this Minneapolis based band called ‘Cloud Cult’ recently. If you like the eclectic and textured sounds of bands like The Broken Social Scene, The Deadly Syndrome and Grizzly Bear, I think you may find Cloud Cult to be to your liking as well. [...]

Ensemble: The Style of Music -> Poster Series

The smart and entertaining illustration/poster design series above is coming from a Toronto based illustrator named James Alexander and designer Glenn Michael of Moxy Creative House. The concept is great. In short, it’s a series of posters documenting the the style of music featuring iconic outfits from 20 male musicians. Shown above, is the main poster [...]

22Tracks -> Music Discovery/iPhone App

Roughly this time last year I posted about a diverse online/web radio station called 22Tracks. The station is fueled by a select group of Amsterdam DJ’s, and they’ve been keeping it going strong all year. So strong, that today, I was psyched to discover on ilovenewwork.com that they have released an iPhone app that functions [...]

Experimental Tribute -> Chris Carter

Experimental Tribute from Chris Carter on Vimeo.

Alright, I just had to post this video. I stumbled upon it tonight while browsing some stuff on Vimeo. Myself, being a bit of a ‘pedal head’ brought on from hours of experimenting with my guitar has led me to become interested in outrageous configurations like this. Very fun, and very surreal.

Notes [...]

Rapid Eye Movement -> POWSKII

All the footage that makes up this well edited music/video art piece was shot in Japan 2008. The music is by Berlin, Germany based electronica band Modeselektor and the super-tightly synched ambient video was produced by freelance video editor and director Xavier Pomian – Pomiankowski. Makes for a very inspiring [...]
