The dream timelapses Jónsi and Sigur Rós


The "Mystery Film Experiment" - the series of video art that takes pitching for weeks Sigur Rós - has not yet come to an end. The latest audiovisual production takes refuge under the song "Dauðalogn" and was directed by Henry June Wah Lee, the mastermind behind Evosia Studios which specializes in photographing landscapes of all kinds. From icebergs Jokulsarlon (Iceland) to the petrified forest of Arizona, the filmmaker has been taking snapshots and recording sequences, everywhere.

The clip presented here shows that the cinematographer recordings made ​​in the forest of Yakushima, a beautiful lush green landscape located in southern Japan. This beautiful building serves as a perfect counterpoint to previously seen in clips of 'Varðeldur' or 'Fjögur Piano', more focused on violence, impulsivity, visceral human figures.

I do not know if you remember but this same piece - 'Dauðalogn' - which was discussed some time ago that he would appear on the soundtrack of the series The Vampire Diaries. We should not be surprised that Icelanders are able to play from the most commercial to the most alternative and author, Sigur Rós are aware of their great cache and can handle perfectly automatism that make them grow medially without losing its independent status.


By the way, if you liked seeing this timelapse with Sigur Rós's music playing in the background I recommend you to take a look at the video attached below. In this case the part is not exactly sounding Sigur (Jónsi is) but the recording of the famous Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull is the most thing that we have seen in life. Go pa-sa-da.

Discovering face pop (and Christian) of Dustin Kensrue of Thrice


There are few artists who evade their lifetime bands in order to play and experiment with side projects. Are the only premises? Have fun and be carried by more creative instincts. Lately we have seen this in cases like Jared Followill (Kings Of Leon) with Smoke / Jackal, or Dustin Kensrue (Thrice singer) with the new line The Modern Post.
Dustin was wandering with his band Lifetime - Thrice - between post hardcore, especially in the initial phase, and the alternative rock shaped base. Furthermore always existed in the background Kensrue's solo career, in which the artist took it out on the raw and heartbreaking folk of "Please Come Home" and "This Good Night Is Still Everywhere". Now Orange County has joined fellow Mars Hill Church to try to approach a tessitura as pop like 'Before The Throne', where energy crop with keyboard lines and catchy rhythms of drums.
"Grace Alone", the first EP by The Modern Post, and can be heard and downloaded in full through the band's Bandcamp that attached in this post. Among the tracks on the album is a tailored version of 'Amazing Grace' John Newton, probably the most famous Anglo anthem in the United States, representing the religious sentiment perfectly covering every musical pore latter proposal EP format.
This brings to three different records that Dustin Kensrue has explored throughout his career. Now we need to see how it will sound Joybringer published, another group he started writing / recording a small EP in mid-May. Namely with surprises us soon! You never know who will surprise us with this great artist ...

'Worse Dreams': first appetizer Soundgarden's new album


We are anxious, and more if it's something related to Soundgarden. Two long years have we've had to suck to hear some "Animal King", the final title of the new album of Soundgarden, but finally (hallelujah) and have something on the table: a small preview / snippet 36-second duration of an item entitled 'Worse Dreams'. You can listen via YouTube at the end of this post.

Just over half a minute the subject is not sufficient to assess this fairly and accurately. Even so I was very pleased to see that Cornell, Thayil & Co. have not focused on putting the autopilot as happened in 'Live To Rise'. Here's a background job, with a background sound that seems to come to a hair that idea as hybrid Kim said in the entry that we dedicate a week ago.We like! The thing has a pilot can leave way too much of themselves.

And you, what do you think? Do you consider this short preview is promising?

An eternal cycle


Indian dancers dancing. A volcanic eruption. Children are baptized. Buddhist monks put in countless small work of sand and tiny pebbles along a painting. No dialogue, no comments, no one ever speaks. Only breathtaking photographs and music. A film crew has traveled to five years through 25 countries from one continent to another, in the baggage-art 70mm camera, which makes every shot an adventure. It is difficult, this film and what it shows together, but the title captures it well. Samsara: The cycle of life. In all its facets.
The best screensaver in the world runs on the canvas. Deserts, temples, cathedrals, canyons, volcanoes, high-rise buildings ... you get used to all the great postcard views and longs for a Indiana Jones, who rides through the canyons or a Tom Cruise from Burj Kalifa throws. Even the most beautiful landscapes will eventually get bored.
It lasts until you look into it is in this flood of images. Sure, it all looks very nice, but the thoughts wander. Especially the generation of smartphones will have trouble through. But then ... scenery change, all of the original, traditional and nature into the city. In great lapse sequences can Samsara rush by the hectic city life, shows the traffic of the cities and the crowded subways. And slowly you realize why the film begins as he starts.
A "How come the burger on the plate?" - Fast forward almost looks like from the program with the mouse. Only drastic course. And "How the ball comes into the gun?" The mouse would probably rather not ask. Factory farming, prostitution, weapons factories, one Sexpuppenwerkstatt ... Somehow man has developed into a comic direction. Combining these themes heard so often one would otherwise have dismissed as gooders. By unspoken contrast to the peaceful originality they develop quite another stunner. Nobody is telling us that what we see is abhorrent and we must all be vegetarians. Samsara does the moral finger down and his audience the freedom to evaluate what they have seen themselves. "Pleasant" is still far too weak a word for it.
For possibly will turn back again anyway everything. The pace decreases again, the camera flies again over high-resolution land and not over crowd, in which individuals seem small and insignificant. The monks consider silence her mosaic paintings. And make it break again. Collect the sand and are satisfied. We like pity for the beautiful picture. We probably both right.
