Just looking at this thing makes me appreciate what amazing things our bodies are. Japanese beatboxer Hikakin and freestyler NonStop. Hypnotic and amazing to listen to and watch.
Put together by myISH . Probably would have been better if they just inset Hikakin rather than split screening but still seriously cool.
Astounding one take video of Alex Chadwick playing 100 seminal guitar riffs to create a brief history of rock and roll. It is very cool and Alex is obviously incredibly talented. Seriously, I’m seriously super impressed. Make sure you watch the whole thing.
I’m humbled. Think I really need to add learning to play guitar back into the goals list. Something I’ve been told all my life I could never do (why do parents and teachers tell you things like “you just aren’t good at languages” or “you don’t have an ear for music” ? Ugh…)
While not wild about the music, absolutely lurv the animation style on this video.
And speaking of remix, if you haven’t checked out the remixes by 17 year old mix-master Madeon, you probably should. He apparently can even mix live if this video isn’t just tongue in cheek . Anyhow, someone finally synced the videos of all the songs he used to the audio he produced to give you this (yes, remixing the remix).
Pretty damn fine actually. Wonder how it’ll run at the gym.
This is absolutely lovely. Watch in full screen with the volume up. Very chill.

Cool. I so need to learn to play an instrument.
And check out this amazing guy doing the same thing with cello and beatboxing

Well, it’s already the Rapture over here on the other side of the date line and things are pretty quiet I’d say, so if you’re having an end of world party, this disaster video mashup should likely be on the video wall Apocaomix by Eclectic Method .

This is amazingly fun. Think of a musical SimCity. Isle of Tune is a music sequencer that let’s you build a virtual roadway and line it with trees, lamp posts, houses and such that produce different sounds as you pass them in the car(s).
Phenomenal idea, though much like the person who pointed me at it, I had more fun checking out other peoples’ creations - some of which are amazing - than building my own.
And moving on from facebook visualizations yesterday, a wicked look at the mashup artist Girl Talk’s last album.I wish I’d found this, but this came from my friend @anu . Awesome. First off, if you haven’t grabbed Girl Talk’s mashup album, you can grab it here (and pay for it later or not, but this guy seriously deserves some cash for his efforts, dontcha think?).
This amazing interactive interface from Mashupbreakdown shows you while the song is playing where those mashed up tracks are coming from. A brilliant way to represent it. I so wish you could interactively remove tracks from the mashup though to see how the thing is put together. So very cool though.
One of the things I absolutely love about the iPad is all the mind blowing melding of interface and things you just never see combined like music, sound and visuals. OK, how can anyone not like fingerpainting sound? I mean, why have people not been screaming at me about this. So cool. Oh, and Singing Fingers is free. Download now . I am having much fun with it. Absolutely brilliant.
Oh, and works on the iPhone and iPad, but so much nicer on the iPad with the extra screen real estate.
