Philip Morris in je keel

Philip Morris in je keel

Het Flavorwire-artikel Celebrity Endorsements: 10 Delightfully Strange Vintage Ads toont een aantal spraakmakende advertenties, waaronder onderstaande van sigarettenmerk Philip Morris, waarvan ik denk dat de makers van Deep Throat hem graag hadden gebruikt. Linda Lovelace in plaats van Lucille Ball en klaar was Kees (of Philip).

Jim Henson tript door Niemand’s hoofd

Eén van de meest opmerkelijke stukken op het geweldige Raymond Scott-album Manhattan Research, Inc (Spotifylink) is Limbo: The Organized Mind. In dit meesterstukje neemt Jim Henson de luisteraar mee op een tocht door het brein van Nobody. De geluiden die hiermee gepaard gaan waren voor rekening van componist en uitvinder Raymond Scott. Hieronder de animatie die Henson maakte.

“Limbo: The Organized Mind” was a stock (but very surreal) bit Henson used to perform on variety shows in `60s and `70s. This clip is from an appearance on the Tonight Show in 1974 and features a disembodied floating face (called “Nobody”) taking a surrealist trip through his own mind.”

De muzikale stemming in Bahrein

Eerder deze week twitterde ik over een stukje jeugdsentiment. Dit naar aanleiding van het luisteren naar een vroeg album van Fates Warning. Toevalligerwijs blijkt een nummer van deze heren, The Ivory Gate of Dreams, part 3,  momenteel de stemming in Bahrein het best te verklanken. Dat is althans wat de muziekhack Lastmood.fm ons doet geloven en wel op basis van de toonsoort waarin het nummer is geschreven: D-groot. Volgens Characteristiscs of Musical Keys staat deze voor:

The key of triumph, of Hallejuahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing. Thus, the inviting symphonies, the marches, holiday songs and heaven-rejoicing choruses are set in this key.

The Ice Book

[vodpod id=Video.5478368&w=425&h=350&fv=]

The Ice Book is a miniature theatre show, a pop-up book that comes to life as if by magic.

It tells the story of a mysterious princess who lures a boy into her magical world to warm her heart of ice. It is made from sheets of paper and light, designed to give a live audience an intimate and immersive experience of film, theatre, dance, mime and animation.

We created the show during a four month artist residency at the Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen in Germany. All we had was a 5D Mark ii, an old Macbook with After Effects, some builders lights and a green cloth that we improvised as a makeshift green-screen. Before we started we had no idea how to make pop-up books let alone how we could combine them with projections. With a lot of care, love and arguing the idea eventually came to life.
