Earth, Wind & Fire – Let’s Groove 
Directed by Ron Hayes

Ron Hays is one of the pioneers of video synth art. He produced this music video using Paik-Abe video synthesizer which was created by Nam June Paik and video engineer Shuya Abe. I just love the trailing video feedback effects and a bunch of floating heads in the space. And not to mention the music, I have to admit it’s an awesome song.

SOUND OF THE SUN

MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS!!
Guest Curator: Clint Enns
Theme: Mind-Melting Mayhem
For my fourth installment of MMM, I present one of my favorite films, David Domingo’s “Sound of the Sun.” The soundtrack by frequent Domingo collaborators Afrika Pseudobruitismus and the zoom shots, Ektachrome 100d, quick cuts, and animation make the film feel like a ’70s educational film without a narrator to provide context. Devoid of context, the film transforms into a psychedelic stream of consciousness, complete with a letter to the fashion police. 

“Dear Robocop,
A big danger walks among us.
Come quickly!!! Please!!!
Yours, Manolo”

 

 

Siamese Brutality

Theme: Mind-Melting Mayhem
For my third installment of MMM, I present Winston Hacking’s insane music video “Siamese Brutality” by Toronto fuzz punks Soupcans. The animation consists of a technique which Hacking refers to as “paperteering.” Contemporary visual music, the genre has traded in its synthesizers for guitars with big muff pedals.

THE COLLAGIST

Theme: Mind-Melting Mayhem
For my second installment of MMM, I present Amy Lockhart’s animation “The Collagist.” The animation consists of collages by Marc Bell transformed into short animation cycles complete with Lockhart’s signature boils. The film can be seen as a possible reminder that nothing lasts forever…a demonstration of the death drive in the presence of creation.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU (EDIT)

For my first installment of MMM, I present Ray Fenwick’s video “I Will Always Love You (Edit).” Using footage culled from YouTube of users performing renditions of Whitney Houstin’s “I Will Always Love You”, Fenwick’s video maintains the sincerity of the originals while creating a soothing audiotronic journey.
