Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
One of the nice things about long holiday weekends is that you don’t have to think – you can just kind of experience life as it goes by. Well, this video doesn’t give you a choice – you can’t think and you will experience it as it screams along. That’s not a bad thing but do hold on.
Animation by Mattias Gordon.
Music by Hazmat Modine.
Hazmat Modine describes itself as “blending elements of early Blues, Hokum Jugband, Swing, Klezmer, New Orleans R & B, and Jamaican Rocksteady” and I would say that this song hits every one of them on it’s meander.
And speaking of meander… This video does that too in an incredible stream-of-conciousness way. By the time I asked myself “What in the hell am I seeing?” I had already gotten absorbed by the blues-boppy tune.
Welcome to a long weekend with an Occasional Unscheduled Music Video (OUMV)! You’re gonna like this one.
A tune of mayhem from the album St James Ballroom.
Alice Francis, aka “Miss Flapperty”, was born in Romania and now lives in Cologne, Germany. While it sounds an awful lot like electro-swing, and has been remixed by the one-and-only Parov Stelar, Miss Francis prefers to call her style ‘Neo-Charleston’ due to her being influenced less by the current electro-swing artists and more by such greats as Django Reinhardt, Josephine Baker, and the unparalleled Miss Ella.
A beautiful and imaginative living of a life over the course of a day’s travel. From the folks at The Animation Workshop.
You’re a valiant knight running about the countryside saving maidens and slaying dragons. Such valor earns you a magic, singing sword. So what if that singing sword won’t shut up? What if that damn sword has horrible taste in music? Does this end badly for you, or the sword?

Another occasional unscheduled weekend music video!
I’ve been diving my way into Glitch Hop music over the last week or so. It’s an interesting genre that gets bits from Glitch which uses sounds from malfunctioning or maladjusted digital technology, bugs, crashes, system errors, hardware noise, CD skipping, and digital distortion, Chiptunes that uses the tones embedded in old computer, game console, and arcade sound chips, and the heavy bass and funk from Hip Hop.
Unfortunately, like Punjabi music, animated videos are hard to find and this one may be a rarity. Oh there are plenty of tracks with animated sound visualizations and anime backgrounds, but this is the closest I can find to a music video and it appears to be a (very well done) splice of clips from several anime shows. If you know of anything out there, let me know in the comments.
Whatever the video, this tune has got some seriously mean funk bones to it. It funketh, verily.
It’s the weekend and time for another unscheduled music post – and and it’s always time for another slick offering from the great electro-swing band Caravan Palace.

A beautifully rendered animation that could be a morality tale on several topics. Worth an extra watch or two just for that, but the lushness of detail really make it worthwhile.
Gea has been living taking refuge in her magnum opus in an undisturbed dimension for millions of years.Her energy is scarce but his work is the meaning of her existence, with the help of her ancient machines she works quietly in her creation; time means nothing in this place until a ravenous technological being makes his appearance to take it all … then the irreversible destruction of his work and even his own being begins taking place. via The CGBros

I love me some projection mapping. This is by Illuminarium 3000 at the 2015 Circle of Light Festival in Moscow.
A take-off on the 1980 short film Tango by Zbigniew Rybszynski the scene builds by sequentially introducing characters that are caught in loops of actions that effect other characters indirectly.
