11-year-old dancer Maddie Ziegler (Dance Moms) performing Sia's latest song “Chandelier,” the bouncy lead single from her next album 1000 Forms of Fear.

And demonstrating just how communicative dance can be, she interprets Ryan Heffington’s mesmerizing choreography with impressive skill. Directed by Sia herself and Daniel Askill.

"While freelancing at SF's lovely Bot & Dolly (check BOX video), Munkowitz was tasked with creating some concert visuals for BECK's 2014 Coachella performance.. Luckily this execution was set to one of Munk's favorite Beck songs, the fan favorite Where It's At.. "
"The concept was to take high-density Op Art imagery and run them through an analog TV signal, where it was then attacked by an vicious pair of industrial magnets, rendering a very practical chromatic aberration that will hopefully leave one seeing psychedelic rainbows for a few minutes after viewing:"
"Ultra-talented cinematographer Joe Picard was down at Coachella capturing the beauty of the visuals during the big weekend.. Below are some select stills from that shoot - it's always a pleasure seeing the art put into context and also live, integrated and real-world scale:"

In new Jamie xx video "Sleep Sound" deaf dancers move to the silence with artist Sofia Mattioli
“I was on a train listening to music, getting deep into it, and this girl started staring at me,” says London-based artist and poet Sofia Mattioli of the genesis of her video for Jamie xx’s “Sleep Sound.” “After a while I took my headphones off and she came up to me, started signing and then wrote me a note to say that she was deaf but could almost feel the music by my movement.” With the germ of an idea from this chance encounter, Mattioli was asked to create a video for the member of The xx and Grammy-winning producer of Alicia Keys, Gil Scott-Heron and Drake. During the course of one day, she danced with 13 members of the Manchester Deaf Centre with ages ranging from five to 27 years old, who responded to the movement of the artist and the vibrations in the air given off by the song. “The relationship between silence and music is a big part of what I am trying to express with my work,” says Mattioli. “The first kid in the video, Archie, was bliss—all of them were amazing. I hope this is a project I can develop further.”

A sad version of “Happy” is something that should collapse the space-time continuum or something, but Woodkid has given Pharrell’s #1 smash a string-laden treatment that’s more likely to tug at your heart than move your feet. via Stereogum
