Flying Lotus - MmmHmm music video

"QUOTE" The ethereal, psychedelic visuals (in combination with some Atari 2600-inspired pixel graphics) is what inspired me to create today’s post for “MmmHmm.” Flying Lotus is actually Steven Ellison, a multi-tasking producer, songwriter and “laptop musician” (the first I’ve heard of such a title) who is involved in some very interesting projects. Flying Lotus is responsible for much of the bumper music gracing Adult Swim and has also recently collaborated with the Ann Arbor Film Festival to perform a live score alongside one of their films.

Electronic music really lends itself to visuals due to its instrumental nature, and the references here to space, technology, culture and human connection are beautiful. Sometimes appearing experimental, sometimes whimsical and sometimes heartwarming, this visual interpretation of “MmmHmm” is both calming and contemplative. LINK, Via: Youtube

The Official Tim Burton Website

You have probably heard of Time Burton, the Director of such classic films as Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow. Many say that they can tell a Tim Burton film from the first few seconds, such is the consistency of his aesthetic. Another side to Burton, however, is that of the artist and this - his official site - is chockablock of ideas from his fevered imagination.

You are guided through the whole experience by the stain boy, a wonderfully expressive pencil drawing. He will take you through the options available at the site, such as seeing what Burton has coming up in terms of his art as well as the ability to see some 'private' works as well. Altogether this is a wonderful experience - more of a museum of art than a website. LINK: Webphemera
