Video directed by Hiroshi Kizu, featuring dancer Masako Yasumoto. From Warren Ellis’ blog:

OMODAKA is the name of the project developed through a trial and error process of mutational fusion of music and motion graphics. It will knock over your existing image toward a music video by a beautiful trajectory.

Forty Years From Now

Marxy’s new album, FORTY YEARS FROM NOW, is now out! I personally love it, but don’t take my word for it, go and check out the first single, “Cat vs. Mouse,” that also features vocals from Kiiiiiii’s UT. This post at the META no TAME blog includes links to some of the physical stores that carry it (as well as more tracks to sample), including links to the major digital download stores.

Polypunk 30

It’s the big 30 for Digiki’s Polypunk podcast series, which you can download here. I’m a bit disappointed by the cover though — I think 30 deserves something better.

Alin Huma's Bike

I’m not the only one obsessing over cycling these days, as Alin Huma’s blog seems to have been taken over by bikes as well. He’s even building wheels now! The podcast image is made up of a photo taken by Alin, which I hope he doesn’t mind me using.

Next week I hope to ride out to Nakameguro to meet up with a few people, and to check out PEdAL.E.D, a shop that specializes in original cycle-wear.

I’ve covered Toshio Iwai’s TENORI-ON sound making device a few times in the past, but I think I’ve finally found the perfect way to give people a better idea of what exactly this device is all about. Check out this demo performance. Via Motionographer.
