Sparklehorse + Fennesz

We were lucky to have numerous neverending summers, non modulated sounds knitting melodies upon which to float weightlessly. Fennesz is back, accompanied by Mark Linkous’ Mr.Sparklehorse; the result is the 15th volume of the series “In The Fishtank”, wrapped up in 48 hrs and produced out of pure double genious. You can choose amongst acoustic guitars, cellos, treated music and electronic signals which exquisitely reconstruct melancholic soundscapes. Mark Linkous’ trademark rhythm-lullabies will also prove to be something originating far away. Maybe, finally, someone has concocted a new style of airport music.

This year shiny metal studs are pretty fashionable indeed, so why not use them to create an original and stylish gift box? Go here for the tutorial by “PS – I made this…“. The site is a call to action to re-imagine, re-use, and re-invent. Loving it!

The Skin Project

Immagine 1

A story published on the skin of 2095 volunteers. By Shelley Jackson.

“Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium. The full text will be known only to participants, who may, but need not choose to establish communication with one another. In the event that insufficiant participants come forward to complete the first and only edition of the story, the incomplete version will be considered definitive.”

Don’t you wish you had all that power and were able to produce special effects while cooking? All of it, apart from that vacuum-cleaner-house-mate at the end.

Drinking & Drawing #7

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Drinking and Drawing High Quality from fredseibert on Vimeo.

Animators + Animations = Drawing Jam Session, that’s what this is all about. A group of 10 animators is called up to the drawing area. Each animator receives 8 blank note cards, as well as the last card from the animator that drew before them. They have exactly 10 minutes (that’s 75 seconds a card) to continue the animation on each card. At the end of the night you have a short film created by dozens of animators! Above: the Bikini Zombies Drinking & Drawing episode produced by Frederator Studios.
