OLD
Don Slepian
US. 1983
Bliss. “Live video performance at the Festival de La Rochelle in the south of France, 1983, with the Jean-Marc Matos Dance Company, sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture. Analog video synthesizers with feedback loops. Early Linn Drum sequencer music, techno long before techno existed. It was quite an adventure – I traveled on my own with all the equipment and met the dancers in Toulouse.”

NEW
The Pipers
UK
If you think this sounds bit/much like my fav Notes, you are not mistaken, this is The Notes’ Aaron Richard Piper. Can gaze downwards forever listening to this, while moving my shoulders back & forth, up and down, not simultaneously, though.

Giant Claw
Dayton. Ohio
Ok, so how come I didn’t encounter this act before? Might be cause I didn’t check out my submissions for a while? Yup. Glad i did though, this is a joyful psychedelic synth jam that can get you pumped up enough to move furniture around. Check the whole album in here!
MP3: Giant Claw – Solar Cell
Video Thrills
New Brunswick, New Jersey
This is a new project by some of the Honeydrum members. It has the VHS lo-fi pathos embedded in it & despite its subtlety & shortness it’s very emotionally involving. More to be released from this act later on soonish.

Fantasmas
Brooklyn|Peru
This is basically sexy, very much so. A cheeky noise-rock sung in Spanish. Free download the 7″ on their Bandcamp.

BORROWED

Portugal. 2011
This is amazingly refreshing and challenging, for some. The vid can’t be more accurate and counterpunkt to the music.

The hymnal nature of the song is so enriched and winked with this vid. Pink halos surrounding a low-angled shot singing repeated heads in the skies, has got to be so higher level.
