Dan Osborne – Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men


Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men(2009, 86MB, 4:49min)

Splendid bit of drôlerie from Dan Osborne, whose work
we’ve featured here before and certainly will again.
It’s funny, sure, but as with a good deal of Osborne’s work it
treads an interesting line between funny bone and heartstring.
Oh..alright..maybe heartstring is a bit strong but there’s a
certain, and a rather touching, melancholy lurking here.

Also – what is it about Mariah Carey and art video on the net?

Reach – A Lecture Musical (2005, 15.3MB, 3 min.)

This video gives me chills, it is simply hilarious.
Performing a musical number to such a captive
and unsuspecting audience is wicked.
Takes a lot of guts to pull a stunt like this.

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.
