Hello little cupcakes,here is the Christmas batch of fresh cookies.

"Cheek to cheek" by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

"WIND" by Robert Loebel, is an animated short about the daily life of people living in a windy area who seem helplessly exposed to the weather. However, the inhabitants have learned to deal with their difficult living conditions. The wind creates a natural system for living.

 Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves The Sunshine"


I dedicate this song to this talented fellow: http://thomasassie.blogspot.de/ and here you have a modern cover of this song: https://soundcloud.com/kan-sano/everybody-loves-the-sunshine

Tristesse contemporaine "Daytime, nighttime"

"Killer Toys" is an animated short film reflecting a war between two children. There is an interesting contrast between the childish drawing style and the reality of war.

 "The work of Zina Nicole Lahr" by Stormy Pyeatte


And here, you can read some explanations from the video director:

In August 2013 my friend Zina asked if I could shoot a video for her portfolio. She needed something that would showcase her work but also tell a little bit about her personality and her interests. We had two days to shoot and edit so we shot an interview and smashed something together to meet our deadline. On November 20, 2013 Zina passed away due to a hiking accident in Ouray, CO. After the funeral I revisited the footage and made this short as an attempt to capture her personality and creativity. I never planned to release it online but now I have a chance to share her and her creations with all of you! For all who are part of the Zina Lahr love bomb, this is for you!

Cymatics: Science vs Music - Nigel Stanford. Wicked thing! Thx to Stefan who shared this. 

Interpol "El Pintor" (full album) 

Erotic Market "I want to be some booty" Clever and creepy use of the symmetry effect in this video. The song is kind of cool too, even if it is not so much my kind of stuff usually, but it has an interesting atmosphere. 

Enjoy, have a nice Xmas and take care.

"Goodbye Berlin"

Tom Jamieson "The DIY Weapons Of Maidan" 

After two weeks of photographing the recent Maidan Square protests in Ukraine and feeling frustrated that he wasn’t contributing anything new to the coverage, London-based photographer Tom Jamieson turned his lens on a unique subject: the DIY weapons crafted by Ukrainian protestors. Jamieson tell us; “It was actually in the last two days of the protests that I decided to focus purely on the weapons and completely remove them from the chaotic background of what was going on around Maidan Square.” Setting up a makeshift studio with a trusty black backdrop and the help of his assistant, Jamieson captured the menacing and medieval-looking weapons in the hands of their proud owners.

Shooting in the early morning or twilight hours outside in the square or near protestors’ tents, Jamieson shows us just how personalized these homemade creations are—some adorned with messages for their targets, some with religious symbols or the names of hometowns. When the peaceful protests of late November shifted to more heated ones—the Berkut police opening fire on protesters in January for example—these weapons began to appear more steadily; here they are a visual reminder of people ready to defend.

05. Sam Winston : http://www.samwinston.com/ 

“Sam Winston creates sculpture, drawings and books that question our understanding of words both as carriers of messages, and as information itself. His work combines a playful and meticulous assimilation of contemporary information – statistics, data, computer programming – with canonical works such as Shakespeare and the dictionary. He is interested in childhood and story-telling and draws us into the underlying subtexts that often exist beneath what might initially appear as ‘pure’ texts. His work draws upon many approaches and forms, often applying meticulous layers of found text which are reordered through indexical categories. Through drawing, cutting, folding and typography, complex ideas emerge in new work that seems clear, logical and completely necessary amidst the saturation of financial and media text that is around us and often impossible to process.”

05. The Wikidrummer 

It’s one thing to record audio of a drummer and then digitally synthesize the reverberation to mimic various environments, but it’s another thing entirely to film a drummer actually playing in all of those environments and then stitch it together into a single track. That’s exactly what Audio Zero and Wikidrummers did with drummer Julien Audigier who played the same drum pattern in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations to show the effects of natural reverb, sometimes even blending multiple tracks into a single shot. Amazing!!!

And thanks to grenadine et tagada for sharing this link :)
