giant steps
lifted straight from my new favourite tumblr - jazz channel, coltrane’s giant steps in time with the written music. the genius doesn’t come though just the notes on the page but seeing them in time with his playing is humbling and inspiring:
User generated music video
A lovely user generated webcam mashup featuring fans of Japanese band Sour for the music video to their track ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday):
#CirclePic
A film created with images from people all over twitter. This collaboration is all about one thing: Circles found in our environment. Nice:
mash up music
curtousy of walliams had a go at my flatmate, this is amazing – tune made from a mash up of individual youtube clips. check it out and then check out the individual clips in ‘more info‘:
dance little man dance
a friend just sent me this from back in the day at DLKW. Tom Tom dancing for a pitch video – pure gold and i reckon, as Faris says, the type of film the internet likes:
*contains Tom Tom’s fool mouth
let’s get lost
quick chet props – if you haven’t seen Bruce Weber’s intimate and revealing documentary of Chet Baker ‘Let’s get Lost’ is now almost half price on amazon- as long as you don’t hate music it’s a great way to spend £12
not from ‘Let’s get Lost’ but sweet clip all the same – heart wrenchingly beautiful:
What is it with the music corps?
So nothing really that new here but… i made a little film to supplement my dismal photoshop skills with some premier. Just a little film to a Gram Parsons track full of love and appreciation. So I put it on YouTube and a handful of people watch it, some of them actually rate it. This makes me happy.
Warner pulls it from YouTube for infringement.
Now, i know that i’m a bad person, what i did isn’t strictly legal and by using the track I’m sure Gram, if he were still with us (bless his soul), would hunt me down. But in no way was my little film trying to profit from the track.
If anything, should someone see my little film, like it and be introduced to the music, they may well then go out and buy a cd – I would and do. If anything I’m acting as an advocate for Warners product, helping them raise awareness of it and helping them shift more cds.
I now hate Warner. I’m now on The Hype Machine.
When will they learn.
Rant ends.
your music you
a cool take on the good ol’ screensaver – as part of Motorola’s partnership with last.fm we have developed a screensaver that delivers on last.fm and MotoRokr’s shared positioning of discovering and expressing your music you. The screensaver displays a quilt of album covers pulled in from your last.fm profile.
