Allo allo! And thank you all for your continued support during those droughts we sometimes experience here at the Carbon/Nation/SplashFantastic HQ!
This was linked off my Twitter account the other day, and in the spirit of superiffic 3D music videos which melt our minds, I decided it was worth posting. Oh, and it’s a beautiful song, [...]

Some of you may know I have a soft spot for music. These days however I’ve been quite nonplussed by the lack of quality in music videos. So when I saw this amalgamation of gorgeous 3D & sound I was quite struck. Struck by awe. Check it out for yourselves, and make sure to sit [...]

There is some seriously weird (and wonderful) stuff going on in this one. Pedigree aside, Beck’s output as of late has been astounding. Definitely a top-notch player of this past couple decades.
But I suppose that’s what you do if your entire life is related to music. Ahhh, one can only dream…

It looks as though From The Basement, Nigel Godrich’s masterpiece theatre is now available for viewing anywhere & everywhere. Just for the name drop, Nigel is Radiohead’s producer. He’s been working on this project where musicians come and perform to a few people and some cameras, with the intent on keeping the advertising and promotion [...]

Here’s a few clips to bang off this Friday. First up, Moby’s absolute obsession with nerdy drum machines. Can’t help but be a lil’ bit envious of his setup. Next, a lighthearted tune from your favourite Fresh Prince character, and those ultra-pop Swedes. Enjoy!

I was in search of the photographer who did the incredible artwork on the sleeve of my Flying Lotus Los Angeles vinyl. Guess what? I found the source of said material and I can’t believe I haven’t discovered Timothy Saccenti until now.
Mr. Saccenti is New York based photographer and video director. His [...]

WOOD, by mcbess
I can’t get my head around the work coming from the mcbess machine (Matthieu Bessudo and friends ie. Simon).  It’s not just incredible illustrations or incredible music, it’s both wrapped in a 3D tortilla shell and smothered in a dark and moody chipotle sauce.  “wood” is a music video for Matthieu’s band the [...]

What happens when you combine 1 building, 40,000 LEDs, a couple of electronica tunes, and 4 programmers/composers? An entire building can come to life, and dance to the rhythm while accenting the melodies. Front and foreground, standing in the limelight is the Ars Electronica museum in Linz, Austria. The project was developed using a mix [...]

Mercury Rev is one of those bands who seem to fall just under the mainstream radar, yet maintain a wide variety of tunes for hepcats to enjoy.  In my humble opinion they are one of the groups that really kick started the whole indie trend of the 2000’s.
Menomena’s Under An Hour is one of the [...]

I’ve been absolutely hooked on this Battles album for the past couple months. Originally, I was giving LittleBigPlanet (the latest hot platformer for PS3) a shot and encountered a Battles tune mid-game. I had previously written Battles off as just-another-indie-rock-band (JAIRB), but was awestruck by the technical nature of their (primarily instrumental) compositions.
