This film is about….? uh really hard to describe, you have to watch it several times to catch the details, and the film language is running so fast from szene to szene you almost forget to breath. But you laugh and a moment later you get shocked. It makes you think, but during the film you have no time to think about what you see, you just absorb the pictures and the pictures get razor-sharp in you mind.
The IFTA award winning maker of this film, David Oreilly, takes us to a journey to our worlds we are living in, but in this film we don’t see the borders anymore. We are floating in between the worlds. Digital and analog is melting. Even our mindworld gets real, everything is real or everything is unreal. We don’t know anymore. We lose ourselves.

“KRAKE ist an annual Berlin based fes­ti­val for chal­leng­ing elec­tronic music and visual trans­duc­tion ini­ti­ated by Nico Deuster of KILLEKILL and Hol­ger Hilgers.

The fes­ti­val took place at the Sui­cide Cir­cus for the first time in 2010 and was an over­whelm­ing suc­cess: numer­ous ground­break­ing artists of high rep­u­ta­tion rocked the crowd such as Warp’s elec­tron­ica heroes PLAID, techno leg­end CRISTIAN VOGEL, RADIOACTIVE MAN of the infa­mous two lone swords­men or break­beat weirdo BOGDAN RACZYNSKI. But there were also a lot of new tal­ents who sur­prised the audi­ence with their fresh­ness. PLASTER with their audio/visual con­cert and KARSTEN PFLUM deserve to be named here.

For 2011 KRAKE will take the next level and con­sol­i­date its rep­u­ta­tion as the most dar­ing Berlin club fes­ti­val with a mas­sive line up in 4 venues and, a new web­site and an art­work by inter­na­tion­ally acclaimed graphic design­ers DOPPELDENK. Musi­cians con­firmed for 2011 include JIMMY EDGAR live set, BOLA live set, LEGOWELT live set, MIXMASTER MORRIS dj set, EMIKA live and many, many more.”

Ok first to say. I want that film. Second,I still want that film, Third I want it now. But ok, here are some information about this project. This film is a result of a creative output of established and great sound- and motiondesigners. 20 Motiondesigner and 11 Sounddesigner worked together to explore and research the relation between sound and geometry. They split up in teams, so that they all started from a different point and used different technical solutions.
Maybe these names sound familiar to you: Onur Senturk, Kultnation, Mate Steinforth or Korb set up a team or Audionerve, Mutant Jukebox, Echolab, and World Gang developed developed these experimental work in a double.
The best is to see it for yourself. resonance-film.com

To get more in touch with this kind of sound and music, their will be soon ( 15.8-21.8.11) an Event in Berlin, Krake Festival I will be there, more Information coming soon.

Evan Grant works with cymatics, the art of visualizing sound, and is the founder of the arts and technology collective seeper. He is exploring natural user interaction and universal computing to create multi-sensorial experiences and memories.
He is really inspiring especially in this talk, there are really just a few people who go deeper in sound science, and how sound effects our minds and body. I will search for more of these kind of articles to show how important sounds for each of our single cell in our body is and how sounds has a certain impact on materials.

Presented by TED
An inspiring and exploring talk about human traffic and creativity in the Internet.
“Artist Aaron Koblin takes vast amounts of data — and at times vast numbers of people — and weaves them into stunning visualizations. From elegant lines tracing airline flights to landscapes of cell phone data, from a Johnny Cash video assembled from crowd-sourced drawings to the “Wilderness Downtown” video that customizes for the user, his works brilliantly explore how modern technology can make us more human.”

More about the talker click here or go to his personal website aaronkoblin.com

Interpol – Rest My Chemistry Video from Aaron Koblin on Vimeo.

“Participants are invited to create a drawing that is woven into a collective tribute to Johnny Cash, set to his song “Ain’t No Grave.” The project was inspired by the song’s central lyric, “ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down,” and represents Cash’s continued existence, even after his death, through his music and his fans. The work continues to grow and evolve as more people participate. A collaboration with director Chris Milk.”
