instant conductors : tpada


Instant conductors : Tpada (40.3MB, 4:19 secs)

A piece by Brian Gibson which captures you with
its trance like visuals and experimental audio.
Instant conductors : tpada is part of a full length
album project created with a video camera to capture visuals
and audio then assembling them into a stunning form of art.
Using a range of different camera angles focused in on areas
from where the musical source is created, this forms an explosion
of creativity manifesting as hybrid song/video.
If you’re intrigued by this clip it’s well worth checking out
untitled project 3 which features
a short number on mini organ with video accompaniment.

Found footage mashups aren’t really anything new, but
Dennis Knopf made this one from YouTube booty dancing
clips, and it makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Bram Crevits and Pall Thayer on Obama


Pall Thayer – Inaugurationanimation (2009, 300MB, 49:56)

As far as I know, none of us at DVblog have become
infected with Obamania. Doesn’t mean we don’t
appreciate the fine art of the remix or dig hope.

First, from Bram Crevits of Cinamatics,
Obama’s Berlin speech, composed entirely of video shot
on cell phones. Remember when the gaze was
given to us by the TV news? Now we give it back.

Second, from Pall Thayer, a silent
animation piece of the entire inauguration.
Free to download and remix as you like. We like.

Both of these pieces surprise and amaze me by the
amount of work they must have taken to compile.
Painstaking, no? Unless these gentlemen know
something I do not, these are labor-intensive pieces
in their own respective ways. Lovely and timely.

Lucid Unison – Bunk House (2008, 37.4MB, 3:52)

Occasional DVblog contributor Brian Gibson‘s latest
project, Lucid Unison, is part art blog, part mashup
collaboration, part band. For the band section, Junk
House Butt House
, they (Brian and partner in crime
Camber Gleim) made a video, seen here. Brian’s
immeasurable talent is always a total pleasure
to experience in whatever form it takes.

We normally avoid posting our own work but this
time we’re going to make an exception.
Doron & I have a joint show at HTTP gallery & we’d like to
invite any DVblog readers in the area to come
along to the private view, this Friday, 16th January.
(Details on the HTTP site linked above)
I’ve posted a piece by each of us (which should
give you a feel for whether you’d love or hate us) but the HTTP
show is going to be a little different from our usual work
so please come along, have a drink, take a look & say hello…
