hyperactive

Ever dream of being an awesome beatboxer? Sure, you puff out some little beats now and then, but never in front of anyone. You could practice for hours a day and become the best beatboxer ever! Or you could fuck around in front of a video camera, spend takes editing and programming, and make a video of you being the best beatboxer ever:

hyperactive

But no! The fun doesn't stop there! Now chop up the video and play yourself with the keyboard:

hyperactive + interactive

Or you could just get really good at beatboxing:

Netlabel Release: Ten & Tracer - Vinculum



Rope Swing Cities brings us yet another great IDM release in the form of "Vinculum" by Ten & Tracer. Ten & Tracer has had releases on many underground IDM labels and netlabels.

This release consists of 9 songs of really lovely chilled out melodic ambient music. T&T experiments with many textures, from dirty strummed guitars to gamalan like sounds to gorgeously delicate analog synth timbres. An excellent release.

ten & tracer - vinculum (rsc009)

01. jealousy is the rage of man
02. nice palm
03. mister patience of a stranger storm
04. first for robert blake
05. thought she was embarrassed
06. hope in the harmful
07. ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
08. we were as fruit - a tamarind
09. the parent of a pitiful child

Sepultura, as played by 10 year olds.


He busted a string (you can see it near the end) and kept on going. Hardcore.

Gary Numan - Cars

Today's favorite video is Gary Numans "Cars". The real meat of the video seems to be the way Gary stares you down.

Some highlights:

You see? He's sad.

And kinda unpredictable and scary.

You just don't understand him. Why don't you understand Gary??

Netlabel Release: Milieu - Sun White Sun

Been way to busy recently to write real reviews recently, but I just had to post this little netlabel gem:


Improv Volume 5: Milieu - Sun White Sun

Very nice longform, slow-evolving ambient. I had to stay up until 2am last night doing some boring work and this really set an awsome mood. I listened twice through back to back and am probably going to throw it on again this afternoon when I need to chill out a bit.
