By chrome June 19, 2014

OK Go is famous for making crazy music videos that are all done in a single take. Their last famous one was the Rube Goldberg machine, now take a look at what they’ve come up with this time!

WOW!

Don’t miss the opportunity to see these guys live: Susanne Blech

By Tand June 8, 2014

Now this one is a very personal post about some really good friends of mine which I’ve known for almost a decade and a half (yes, unfortunately I’m old enough to maintain friendships THAT long – lol, smiley face). Introducing: Susanne Blech!

If you’re happen to be German based and watch Circus HalliGalli on a regular basis, you may have seen them already jump out of Joko’s and Klaas’ closet last week or so. And since they are currently on tour you have the chance of seeing them perform live tonight in Munich!

Below you’ll find their current video for their song “Liebe neue deutsche Welle” which was partly shot in Rio as you can already tell by the gifs above.

They’ve been on tour for a couple of dates and all of them have been massive and sold out. I’ve been to the release show myself and the crowd just went straight mental. But don’t take my word for it and have a look at their Facebook page.

Don’t miss out on this one!! So with no further a due and with great pleasure it is, that I present to you: Susanne Blech!!

This is What it Sounds Like When You Put Tree Rings on a Record Player

By chrome May 8, 2014

If you take a look at trees sliced into cross sections every Vinyl fan will realise the similarity. You can read a trees whole life in the rings as you can hear the sound of a Vinyl record with its rings. So this could lead you to the next question: What would it sound like if we played a tree trunk on a turntable?

Musicians—or, more accurately, sound artist—Bartholomäus Traubeck found the answer. After engineering a record player that could actually withstand playing a cross-sectional piece of wood, he filtered the input through Ableton Live, which interpreted the data into a piano track. He captured the entire thing using a Playstation Eye Camera, using a stepper motor to power the turntable’s arm.

The result? A track called “Years,” which lands somewhere in between neo-classical genius and a horror film’s score. And i think the song’s maker can explain it in the best way:

“On regular vinyl, there is this groove that represents however long the track is. There’s a physical representation of the length of the audio track that’s imprinted on the record,” he says. “The year rings are very similar, because it takes a very long time to actually grow this structure because it depends on which record you put on of those I made. It’s usually 30 to 60 or 70 years in that amount of space. It was really interesting for me to have this visual representation of time and then translate it back into a song which it wouldn’t originally be.”

Listen to it for yourself—it’s the sounds of natural history, maaan.

A little street art to uplift your daily routines and have a giggle or two. We are not really some arty farty fellas but Mr B is a must-know and his material is message wise so dead on. His works speak for themselves, so happy scrolling!

Dieses Gemälde befindet sich an einem Gebäudes in Bethlehem, im besetzten Westjordanland. Wir befinden uns an einem der Hauptstraßen, die vom Checkpoint Bethlehem aus nach Jerusalem führen. Das Bild ist aus Sicherheitsgründen auf die Seite des Hauses gemalt. Die Soldaten sind misstrauisch gegenüber Menschen, die zu lange am Stück an diesem Ort bleiben. Sie werden in der Regel wegen terroristischer Aktivitäten verhaftet.

“Diese Wand ist ein Ort, an dem über 40 Menschen während der Ersten Intafada hingerichtet wurden. Man sieht oben am Rand noch die Einschusslöcher.

Während Bansky malte, kamen viele Menschen vorbei. Einige von ihnen schüttelten ihm die Hand, andere wiederum wollten ihn davonjagen. Schließlich musste man die Polizei rufen, um die Menschenansammlung zu zerschlagen. Nach einiger Zeit verließ Bansky den Ort und einheimische Jugendliche vollendeten sein Werk.
