Drawing a Song

The agency Herraiz & Soto has created a gorgeous interactive videoclip for the band Labuat. The idea is so simple as beautiful: the user draws a line with a chinese-style brush stroke that synchronizes with the music and the mouse movements, all peppered with some nice animations triggered at predefined timestamps in the song.

Omar Souleyman

Omar was a very nice surprise at the Sonar'09. European electronic scene seems to have not very much fresh things to offer when some of the best performances of a so called advanced music festival are veterans such as ethiopian Mulatu Astatke or the same Omar, from syria...

N.A.S.A. - A Volta

Christian Marclay - experimental turntablism

Before the first hip-hop turntablists there was Christian Marclay. Marclay's work explores connections between sound, photography, video, and film. A pioneer of using gramaphone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collage, Marclay is, in the words of critic Thom Jurek, perhaps the "unwitting inventor of turntablism." His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the mid-1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop's use of the instrument.



I've seen him performing in Sonar'05 and it was quite impressive...

Kitty Daisy & Lewis - Going Up The Country

This was the cutiest concert from Primavera Sound'09...



Kitty Daisy & Lewis are no ordinary band. The three siblings -- now aged 15,18 and 17 - first came together onstage at a country and rockabilly jam in a North London pub. Over five years later the 50s music, fashion and technology obsessed family have built a massive word of mouth audience through a stream of rapturously received gigs and festival appearances and are ready to release their first long player on Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label on 28th July 2008.

The single 'Going Up The Country' is a perfectly rounded summer holiday feel-good jam, full of harmonica solos, handclaps and lyrics about leaving the city smog for fairer country hills. Coming out on 7", authentic 78rpm 10", CD and download on 7th July 2008.

Rolfe Kent - DEXTER opening theme

The english composer Rolfe Kent not only wrote the main title of Dexter but also a bunch of soundtracks for films such as About Schmidt, Freaky Friday, Election, The Matador, Reign Over Me and Thank You for Smoking, etc. Dexter's opening credits makes a very good description of the main character. Thrilling but at the same burlesque, the tune fits just perfectly.

Forget - Vania & The Master

"Pelo por aquí. Ojos por allá. Más pelo. Pelos. Por lo pelos. Cuanto pelo. Me libré por los pelos. Peluca. Pelo. Pelón."

Little Boxes -Malvina Reynolds

And yet another one for the TV section. This time is the song used in Weeds. Recorded by Malvina Reynolds in 1963, it renders a tongue-in-the-cheek critic to the suburbian life. A fantastic idea from the producers was to use different versions from the same song, so as the season of Weeds advances, we can listen this funny song covered by artists such as Elvis Costello, Regina Spektor, Linkin Park, The Decemberists, Engelbert Humperdinck, etc.

Alabama 3 - Wake up this morning

For the new TV opening themes section, a real classic one, The Sopranos theme. Made by the quite flaamboyant band of techno-country Alabama 3. The credits use just a small part of a really good song. To listen the complete version, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYtDqHupwrg

Down in the hole - DoMaJe

Here's a new section, furthermore than videoclips, I'm going to post also good songs that are being used as opening theme for TV series...

Jan Terri - Losing You

This video has been tagged as the worst ever, but is it? I find those wipes to the sky from the cameraman rather encouraging, but why is she always pissed off?

Little Wings - Mark Gormley

Those who are not subscribed to The Uncharted Zone at You Tube don't know what their missing. Here's one of the biggest stars of this video channel that would blow your mind out. Hold on to that parachute!

Rafael's weapon maker promo

Let's say you're a defense-company marketing executive. And you want to make a splash at the Indian defense ministry's annual air show. Do you: (a) buy expensive gifts for New Delhi's generals; (b) treat the press to Kingfishers and samosas; (c) produce a Bollywood-esque video featuring bare-midriff girls, flower-draped missiles, and the catch phrase "dinga dinga dee?"

Yes, crazy as it sounds, this is a promotional video for the Israeli armament firm Rafael used as a marketing presentation at the recently held Aero India 2009 in Bangalore. That's really scary, isn't it?

Aqui teneís una creación casera. Presupuesto de 30 Euros (!) y cuatro días en Londres para conseguir etrezo, localizaciones y todo lo demás by the face. Acabé teniendo que haceles todo al grupo, desde la comida hasta colarles en el metro pero valió la pena!

Y para los que como yo necesitan escucharla 80 veces para pillar la letra aquí teneís el pricipio (no tiene desperdicio!):

Well well well

Taskmaster burst
The bionic zit splitter
Breakneck speed
we drown ten pints of bitter
we lean all day
and some say that ain't productive
but that depends upon the demon that you're stuck with
'cos right now
I see clearer than most
I sit here contented with this cheese on toast
I feel the pain of a third world famine
Segue
we count them blessings and keep jamming
'tis him
scumbag, scum of the earth
his worth was nil
until he gained the skill of tongues
from 15 years young straight to my grey back self
I stay top shelf material
Jerk chicken, jerk fish
Break away slave bliss
Generate G's and then we stash them in the Swiss
Fools can't see this
Audio pistols
a fistful of hip hop donzai
Progressin' in the flesh
Esoteric quotes most frightening
Duppy took hold of my hand while I was writing
Let go me ting Duppy
Let go me hand
I summon up the power of banana clan...

Witness the fitness
The cruffatin liveth
One hope one quest

With this kind of friends, there's no need for enemies...

Cornelius - Fit song

With Keigo Oyamada AKA Cornelius, the visuals interact so neatly with the sound that sometimes his music seems just a soundtrack used to enhance a nice animation. In this case, even the lyrics fit the stop-motion narrative...
