Nicolas Jaar Creates Soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's "The Color of Pomegranates" 1969
Mysterious are the ways of God especially when it comes to reveal a modern artist doing a cover work on another talent that passed away many years ago. The acclaimed New York-based musician Nicolas Jaar has uploaded a Soviet avant-garde film from 1969, called “The Color Of Pomegranates”, created by surrealistic director Sergei Parajanov (1924-1990) to Youtube along with his own original score. “The Color Of Pomegranates” is a biography of the Armenian ashug Sayat-Nova (King of Song) that attempts to reveal the poet's life visually and poetically rather than literally. Nicolas Jaar leveled up the whole story to the new surreal level by reworking the orginal sound with his soundtrack 'Pomegranates' (2015).BUT Nicolas is not the first to take over the original score, famous (by Matrix OST) musicians Juno Reactor did this a year ago. So get your extra hour of awesome visual and sound overdose here and below
“A the beginning of 2015 my friend Milo heard some of these songs and told me about the film. I watched it and was dumbfounded. I felt the aesthetic made complete sense with the strange themes I had been obsessed with over the past couple of years. I was curious to see what my songs sounded like when synced with the images, which turned into a 2-day bender where I soundtracked the entire film, creating a weird collage of the ambient music I had made over the last 2 years.
The film gave me a structure to follow and themes to stick to. It gave clarity to this music that was made mostly out of and through chaos. It also gave me the balls to put it out… I wanted to do some screenings but the guy who owns the rights to the film only wants the original version of the movie out there. I can’t blame him, I’m sure Paradjanov wouldn’t want some kid in NY pissing all over his masterpiece and calling it a soundtrack! I’ve listened to it a couple of times without watching the movie and I think it stands on its own. Or at least I hope it can!”
Video was removed from the web, the only episode found:
““I was still living at my childhood home when I finished Pomegranates. On March 1st, I arrived in my new home and it was completely empty except for a baby tree. The owner was there to greet me and he asked me if I wanted to keep the baby tree because he had nowhere to put it and no one to give it to. I agreed to keep it and take care of it.
Before he left I asked him what kind of tree it was. He told me it’s a pomegranate tree. He had no idea I had just put this out!”

Radiohead's "Creep" Reimagined in Plasticine
In a tiny dim studio, Brussels-based artist Olya Tsoraeva painstakingly created a mold of Thom Yorke’s face out of plasticine for her stop-motion film Plastic Crash, a work deeply rooted in Radiohead’s “Creep.” It took four months to get all of his features right, and an additional nine months to handcraft the animation. “I spent a year in darkness!” she tells The Creators Project.
“I wanted to give a new breath to this song because I still consider ‘Creep’ as one of the most beautiful songs,” says Tsoraeva. “I was really inspired by its music, especially by the lyrics.” The video begins with the definition of a perfectly-inelastic collision, a rare case when “two bodies stick together after impact," and then shows the singer's face surrounded by strange, intricate and colorful creatures that end up pulling him apart as the song builds.

AIAIAI "Real Booty Music"
It's totally nonsense and Friday post. We like AIAIAI products, electronic arts and well .. dancing too. Here is the clue to see them all together.The project acts as a collaboration with designers OWOW, as Twerk Queen Louise was utilized as the “instrument,” in which the booty drum recorder (one located on each cheek) captured the movements. And thus, “Cascavel” was born, a new tune to shake your ass to, made by literal ass shaking - http://realbootymusic.aiaiai.dk/

Siska - Unconditional Rebel or the video shot with a 1000FPS in 5 sec
The 3.5-minute music video below was captured in a span of 5 seconds. French filmmaker Guillaume Panariello tells us he did this “shortest shoot ever” using a Phantom 4K camera snapping 1000 frames per second. When slowed down, those 5 seconds of real time turn into three-and-a-half minutes of slow-mo craziness. The song is “Unconditional Rebel” by Siska
Glitch Sound Artist VTOL
This post can be a perfect one to start your Monday, glitchy and experimental in some way. Thanks to B∞M, now we know Moscow-based artist Dmitry Morozov aka VTOL. Dmitry explores the medium of electronics in his work, using everything from barcodes to robotics to generate glitch visuals and abstract sounds. Below is a selection of his works:
"An installation that features twelve robotic arms with speakers, which can be conducted by a participant through the gestures of their hands."
"A device that is held above the arm that reads any tattoo markings to translate into electronic sounds."
Turbo-Gusli - "an instrument that can be controlled using an EEG brain-reading headset."
"Installation piece that reads a digital barcode and prints a unique postcard from that information."
Citizens!'s - Lighten Up
Citizens!’s latest entertaining single, “Lighten Up,” has been out for nearly a month now, but here receives some extra promo courtesy of a fresh video that coincides with Cesare’s impressive remix of the track. Cesare is a Kitsune Maison label mate of the London quartet, as the re-up no doubt came out to the liking of the group. The Ernest Desumbila visual is just as fun-filled as the audio, with it featuring a pair of female dancers in a semi-animated setting. The delivery comes as Citizens! is expected to release their sophomore studio album this spring
