The Moving Image

Supposed to be producing a 3-minute video/animation for one of my modules but how can it exist when everything I do is looped?
Perhaps down to the cyclical nature of our lives. We all return to the same point eventually.

I renamed this blog l$d s0unds5tyst3m. It sounds incredibly stupid but maybe that's the point of everything I do. I had an epiphany today, in a few years time will we even need galleries? The internet is the start and finish point for most of what I do. It's almost impossible to reproduce what I'm trying to do in a "real" environment.
Trying to convey a state of mind, digitally. Replicating thought processes with repetitive visual stimuli.


Here is a short video I made with my Movement Image Sound (or movement south vision as my baked mind decided to call it) project in mind. I haven't worked out how to use iVideo or whatever yet so it's pretty basic

I want to make music to go with it but working out how to do that along with trying to edit anything to a decent standard is perhaps biting off more than I can chew...

Echos.

Pretty average new single from Klaxons, no doubt we're going to be hearing a lot of this. From the sound of it I'm guessing they're going for a more radio friendly rock sound, eschewing the frantic electro that made their name.

The video looks pretty cool though.

An 8-bit dream

Brilliant. Something that appeals to me from the creators project...
Now back to Heroes of Might and Magic I go.

O.N.E.

new yeasayer vid, y'all

I was apathetic about their new "pop" sound but I can't stop listening to Odd Blood. Looks like they're about to hit the big time.
How long before Topman start selling those outfits?
And how many 14 year old girls will be going round singing Ambling Alp?


Who cares, I liked them before they were popular.
