Robot Rock du Jour: Hooray For Earth - True Loves (Cereal Spiller Remix) (2011)

While this song is uncomfortably close to mainstream for my circuit boards, this deconstructed remix by NYC incognitos Cereal Spiller is just off the beaten path enough to ensure safety. The real winner here, tho, is the animation created by UK-based (crazy) artist Cyriak Harris

Icons: DJ Mehdi - Signatune (Thomas Bangalter Edit) (2007)

Sad, sad news today. French/Tunisian producer and DJ, Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, died last night, reportedly after the roof on his house gave way during a birthday party. Condolences to his wife, family and friends. If he was anything like his music and performances, he was a truly vibrant and gifted young man. 

The music video of DJ Mehdi's single "Signatune". Track from his album "Lucky Boy" available here: http://bit.ly/eR46by Subscribe to Ed Banger's official channel: http://bit.ly/EdBangerChannel 2006 Ed Banger Records / Because Music

Robot Rock du Jour: LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great (2007)

So, I pretty much avoid big time acts and there are very few "modern" bands that make what I deem to be exceptionally rad music. LCD Soundsystem, however, is the king + queen of them all. I created this stop-motion video as part of my graduate program thesis work. 100 hours of wood cutting and photographing. If you dig it, peep my process photos.

This stop motion animation film uses a very old technique called Strata Cut, but applied to wood. Each frame represents a 1/24" cut, 1,200 cuts in all. Created for Stanford's ARTSTUDIO 167 class taught by John Edmark. Scored to LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great" as a thank you to the band for writing such wonderful music.
