Moving Stone – Mattias Gordon

2 Comments Posted by on May 28, 2016

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.

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.

Shoot Him Down by Alice Francis

Leave a comment Posted by on May 27, 2016

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.

Song of the Knight – Steven Ray

Leave a comment Posted by on May 24, 2016

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?

Furious by Wicked City

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.

Gea – Primer Frame

Leave a comment Posted by on May 17, 2016

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
