Oramics : Yesterday’s Future Music
Oramics from Nick Street on Vimeo.
“Forget everything you’ve ever known about synthesizers. This machine has no piano keyboard or anything like that. It looks like the sort of thing that a mad inventor would make in his shed.” -Tim Boon

The Island
Very few things can stop me in my tracks and blank all distraction, captivate me and consume my attention.
Edison Rides
There’s a comment on the YouTube page that Tesla did this first.

Hamburger Eyes
Hamburger Eyes from Nick Fogarty on Vimeo.
Hamburger Eyes could be described as a black and white photo periodical but to me it has grown to represent a community of people affiliated with it’s production and an approach to image gathering. Many of the photos are moments that could not be replicated; spontaneous punchlines and oddities and interest.

Pitch Black Comedy
Stand Up from Joseph Pierce on Vimeo.
Not much to add about this other than… the illustrative expression is guttural and the artist’s choice to animate the tension between another artist, a brutal comic, and his unforgiving audience is a brilliant construct once removed. Are we the viewers disgusted with the character or his creator? It probably depends on the levels we appreciate.
Inside Out
From The Inside Out - First Look from SecondBase Films on Vimeo.
There aren’t very many things that make me happier than riding my bike. I love it. That said, I can not believe what these guys are doing on mountain bikes. It’s thrilling to see how far the art of capturing it on video has progressed.

I’m a motorist. I’m cyclist. I’m a recreational bicyclist. I’m also a pedestrian. I have 4 points of view here as it relates to road safety, courtesy and general cooperation. The one that wants to speak up is the one on a bike. If you are a motorist moving down the road in a 6ooo lb chunk of rubber and metal you may not fully appreciate what a more vulnerable and self propelled traveler experiences…

Dali Plays Point Guard
Dali Plays Point Guard from Secret Sidewalk on Vimeo.
From their Vimeo Bio: Hailing from San Francisco and Oakland, Secret Sidewalk is Mike Boo, Puzzle, and Asonic Garcia. Their use of electronic tools such as samplers, synthesizers, and self-built sound modules is with an approach that’s of true musicianship. No programmed loops, no pressing play, its ALL LIVE here.
