Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble “Drips/Take Notice” feat Flying Lotus from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on Vimeo.

eYe just posted a link to that uber-fresh video for “MmmHmm” [ft. Thundercat]“ last week and now the LA superproducer Fly-Lo has got me goin’ all over again, this time in a completely different phase n’ format. As he’s been w3rkin’ with an entire Jazz ensemble aka the “Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble“. Who along with Flying Lotus. take apart and then reconstruct versions of the 2 songs “Drips + Take Notice”. Reconfiguring them into a 14 minute piece of sterling new multigenre audio. I am Loving the meeting of minds here, between the jazz and the electronic worlds.

The full-length video for “Take Time” by The Books, at the top, and twelve other full-length music videos are included on The Books – “Playall” DVD, which you can nab at: www.thebooksmusic.com. They’ve also got a stellar new album out, their 4th LP eye believe, called “the way out”.

When it comes to combining sound collage, video art, musicality, w3rds, and existentialism.. I don’t know too many modern day artists who do it better.

Long live The Books!!!

PS – For those wanting more.. There’s also all kinds of other videos by: “The Books” over on LastFM. Official and fan made clips. -> http://www.last.fm/music/The+Books/+videos

Video: Pogo – “Garden”

A_Scissors — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:53:22 +0000

This an amazing piece of A/V exploration & reconfiguration at it’s finest. Where a special young artist called: “Pogo” turns his Mother, her “Garden”, House, and her voice into spectacularly potent contemporary art.

Pogo – “Garden”

Click here to view the embedded video.

Pogo is an emerging, young electronic music artist from Perth, Western Australia. Equal Parts Programmer, Producer, ReMixer, Mash-Up king, VJ, and Visionary. He is known for his work recording small sounds from a single film or scene and sequencing them to form new pieces of music altogether, many of which have accompanying videos which correlate with the sounds/samples. Creating wonderfully concise and colourful reflections of contemporary technological world culture.

While also, engaging the viewer/listener to think about intellectual “property”, and what/who determines the “tools” that modern day artists are permitted to use in creation of contemporary aRtw3rks. Much in the same way pioneers of similar artforms, such as: Negativland, The Avalanches, Girl Talk, and a few others have done in years past. And at a mere 21 years of age, Pogo is an incredible mature and aware artist who appears to have a very bright future ahead of him. Good for him and good for the w3rld!

Otto Von Schirach mural by: Francesco LoCastro w/ Video

Gar — Mon, 10 May 2010 02:27:21 +0000

One of my favorite painters living in FL, Francesco LoCastro, recently painted a large mural of one of FL’s most original, auditory artisans, Otto Von Schirach, on a wall in Wynwood, Miami. Peep the video below to see the mural take shape, colour, and form to the uncanny soundz of Mr. Otto V. S. Any way you slice it, some pretty sick stuff! With mad talent galore spewing out of all avenues, angles, & orifices.

Look for his new full length LP entitled “Approaching Sunlight” to appear on the web pages of Tha SLoTH in the very near future as well. It will include the track above and be just as immaculate and then some. Count on it.
