Freska and AUJIK music video collaboration - Flows
An interesting visual exploring a type of digital nature in the new music project "Flows" recently released by Freska and with music video collaboration by AUJIK. PRESS RELEASE In "Flows", the two artists Freska and AUJIK tried to visualize and voice the paradox of nature, which is its refinement and primitiveness and creates a conflict of these two categories, leading to chaos in this world, through which evolution is born.  Refined nature consists of evolved technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, DNA manipulations, and body enhancements. The Primitive includes fauna, flora, and the Earth itself with its precious stones, minerals, and metals. The pulsating foliage and advanced interfaces that emerge in the biosphere se…

Shoko Ise (Visuals) and Steve Jansen (Music)
Shoko Ise (Visuals) and Steve Jansen (Music) -"Swimming In Qualia - Ascent" Swimming In Qualia - Ascent The visuals and music in this music video installation work, "Swimming in Qualia - Ascent" are well matched. The visuals are by Shoko Ise and the music is by Steve Jansen. What strikes me as rather beautiful about this work is the misty, faded, soft look of the visuals in which shadows and suggestions of light coming in from afar are presented and the durations of the transitions and the movement suggest a gentle place. The long tones and gong like sounds suggest an atmosphere of gentle softness also.  There are some beautiful vertical cutting and crossfades of flowers, lilies and leaf foliage that create the most mesmerising effect.

This Narrator is Blind - Experimental Video
The title of the video refers to the legend of Homerus, the ancient greek author, who wrotes beautiful poems, although he was blind.  "the video it's , let's say, an accidental video; I was very sad and nervous, filming the sun behind some leaves, till I saw these fast and continuously changing figures... I thought that my camera was going crazy, like myself. Than , some months later, I recorded a guitar base, and edited those images on the music."  Video Artist: Ruggero YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiajnXGQjBw http://www.myspace.com/spicchio http://www.vimeo.com/user138786 [Italy]
