details:
The music video for Neon Indian's classic cyber-track "Polish Girl," off Neon Indian's new album Era Extraña, incorporates light painting to tell the story of a disjointed personal journey. "Polish Girl" was directed by Tim Nackashi and produced in collaboration between The Creators Project, Neon Indian, and Mom + Pop Music.

Com Truise - "Brokendate" from stereogum on Vimeo.
man, this video really does a really excellent job of capturing the feeling of mid 80s video animation with VHS washout and glitch, all around a simple noir story. and those lazertag guns in at the end are just killing me (i have 2 w. holsters about 4 ft from where i'm sitting right now...)
Real Scenes: Detroit from Resident Advisor on Vimeo.
Great Video. Reminds me a lot of Baltimore, sort of the same scene.
A short video from a few years back of Charles Cohen playing my absolute favorite analog modular synth, the Buchla 200 / Music Easel... both of which together are about $60,000 now. I've played one a few times, and they are without question the most organic sounding devices ever made. A rare treat indeed to actually witness someone so proficient with the system.
credits:
Sound artist Charles Cohen improvising on a 1970's Buchla Music Easel. This extremely rare instrument is one of Don Buchla's 200 series. Buchla (a pioneer of audio synthesis) only manufactured 14 of these units. The entire film was edited from an hour-long set of free improvisation, with audio was taken directly from Charles' mixing board.
Produced by Alex Tyson, a sound and video artist from Pennsylvania. Shot using the Letus35 Extreme and a 35mm LensBaby Composer.
from the days when synthpop was just a gleam in giorgio's eye, and a twitch in ralf & florian's lederhosen.
thanks mke. funny that someone posted this to the telex group.
