In June 2018, professional surfers Arthur Bourbon and Damien Castera travelled to Africa in order to make a documentary film about Liberia. They went there to witness the history of the first surfing community in this country, devastated by 15 years of civil war. Here is a short film introducing their journey. A feature-length documentary is currently being edited and will be available in early 2019. Choose subtitles by clicking on the CC button. Special thanks to BCUC for the music. We used the track “MOYA” from their album EMAKHOSINI. You can follow them and buy their music here: http://bit.ly/2z5RQ0y Surfers: Arthur Bourbon & Damien Castera Directors: Arthur Bourbon & Damien Castera Producer: http://bit.ly/2SmBjOQ Colourist: Brice Auger ///////////// ///////////// ///////////// En juin 2018, les surfeurs Arthur Bourbon et Damien Castera sont partis réaliser un film documentaire sur le Liberia.

Listen to the new album ‘One Hundred Billion Sparks’: http://bit.ly/2S3Ipr3 http://bit.ly/2PJKaZ1 http://bit.ly/2S2S9ll Max Cooper Things got pretty mad on this one after I set the task of trying to visualise the Platonic realm of form underlying reality. And Páraic Mc Gloughlin has come up with something of a masterpiece I think, using a single day-long shot, whose time-based processing is linked to the more than 100 layers of audio I used to create the music…it’s fairly intense on the audio and visual as a result, but all so precisely carried out by Páraic. A huge amount of work has gone into this on all fronts, I hope you enjoy it. This all links into my new album project, ‘One Hundred Billion Sparks’, about our hundred billion firing neurons which create who we are, all we know and experience (http://bit.ly/2PJKaZ1). As a sub-topic for one of the music/video projects, I’ve always found it fascinating how mathematicians and scientists talk about “discovering” laws of nature, never “creating” them, even when they’re working in entirely abstract realms with little or no link to the real world. The laws and structure are usually assumed to exist independently of us in a sense very much linked to Plato’s ancient idea of the realm of ideals, with only our minds giving us access to this realm. I came across this idea delivered in stark form in the case of the “amplituhedron”, an entity whose structure encodes fundamental particle interactions, and whose creators claim it to yield space and time in an emergent manner, so that it can’t possibly exist out there in the real world that we’re familiar with. If it does exist, it is outside of time and space, whatever that means! All this might sound like I’m falling off the cliff a little in terms of anything to do with making music videos, but, as I often find to be the case with this sort of investigation of nature, it’s rich with beautiful visual forms and many ideas which are ripe for musical representation on emotive and structural grounds. The general musical theme to attempt was that of a world of all (or at least as many as I could cram in) precise structures, with particular attention to the jagged complex form of the amplituhedron. Páraic also employed the same approach visually. It demanded a barrage of exact forms. Musically this was a lot of fun, and very much in fitting with what I like to attempt anyway, just requiring a greater devotion of time and more attention to detail than my norm. Most of the 100-120 layers of different sounds were synthesised, each layer comprising a specific aesthetic musically, but with little repetition, so that I could have something like a world of independent forms, related, but each its own distinct entity, all mixed together to push the overall complexity in line with the concept. This included many layers of synth processing - I tried to take each part and force it into new, but related forms. I enforced strict quantisation, trying to keep everything rhythmically stuck to grid, to give that feeling of sharpness and precision despite the mess of many layers. Páraic Mc Gloughlin The idea for the Platonic video came from the thought of just how much is going on in one single day. In the brief, Max wrote “Underneath all of this mess however, it needed a simple core, the constant chord progression.” So I thought it was fitting to have a simple core running through the entire video and it being made from one location shot over the space of one day, keeping up with the music’s “messy” energy as the track developed. Aesthetically I love the mix of abstraction and realism and this was a great place for me to explore this. Using a fundamental image (a time lapse) to mask and cut into, I tried to show the variable possibilities within a limited time span, maintaining the integrity of each individual photograph while dissecting and rearranging the overall image. In order to get as close a relationship from audio to visual as possible I tried to allocate a certain time of day or shape to each individual sound in the track , experimenting with animated sequences using platonic shapes, and referencing images based on the amplituhedron, later using mats and directly masking over many layers of photographs. I tried to incorporate and inject a feeling of possibility, the unknown, hidden truths, and what might be. I wanted the main focus of the video to be on time and space but I also I wanted to have an underlying human element. Choosing a motorway with two way traffic fit nicely, and didn’t over populate the scene. Nineteen hours sitting on a bridge in Sligo town, and a good stint behind the computer and we’re done.

Each fall our skies fill with the wings of migrating raptors. This ancient migration spans two hemispheres, binding our backyards to the forests of the far north and the wildest corners of South America. A network of volunteers and biologists stand ready to document each pulse of the migration by collecting data that may arm us with the means to better understand the health and wellbeing of these wayward fliers and the landscapes that sustain them. Sky Migrations is a film about a journey that embeds us in this epic migration for a brief moment, telling the stories of those who, with eyes cast skyward, tuck themselves atop mountains to help ensure that October skies may continue to flood with raptors, and that wilderness itself lives on.

First round begins, the referee of my match didn’t show up. My opponent’s dad said: I’ll be the judge. I didn’t suspect a thing at first but then it dawned on me.. They were fucking cheating. Nobody was there to help so I decided to fight back as hard as I can. I channeled my rage towards the yellow ball. I was unstoppable. Running. Sweating. Swearing. Michel Jordan. Win. Win. Win. After the first round I felt super ready for the next round. But nobody called me for the next game. Days turned to weeks and summer was over. When school started I started to realize that there is no next round. It haunted me, Did they just continue to play without me?? And maybe the tournament wasn’t over, maybe they still play till this day. Maybe there is no next round at all. No final, no trophy. You just keep playing. - - - - בכיתה ו הייתי בנבחרת של גבעת אלה בטניס בקיץ המועצה המקומית ארגנה טורניר בין הישובים. התחיל סבב המשחקים הראשון. עשרות ילדים מזיעים אחד מול השני. אך קרה מקרה- ולמשחק שלי היה חסר שופט. האבא של השחקן מולי החליט שהוא יהיה השופט. בהתחלה לא חשדתי. אך מהר מאוד הבנתי מה המשמעות של העניין וראיתי את ההפסד הצורם מתקרב ללא שליטתי. זה היה כול כך לא הוגן ולאף אחד לא היה אכפת. ואני זוכר איך מתוך פיגור במשחק ומתוך החוסר הוגנות הזאת קיבלתי כזה דרייב להילחם חזרה. וכשהמצב היה נרא חסר סיכוי. משהו נפתח בי. איזה זעם וגאווה חסרת גבולות. הייתי בלתי ניתן לעצירה. לא הפסקתי לזוז לקפוץ. להתאבד על כול כדור. זה לא היה פשוט. אבל ניצחתי . יום סבב המשחקים הראשון עבר. חזרתי לישוב. הרגשתי מוכן לסבב הבא. ימי הקיץ עוברים להם לאט, ואני מחכה, ומפנטז כמה רחוק אצליח להגיע עם הזעם החדש שרחשתי. אבל אף אחד לא קורה לי לבא. הקיץ נגמר, הלימודים מתחילים ומתחיל להזדחל לי לראוש הרעיון הזה, התובנה הבילתי נסבלת- שהסבב הבא לא הולך להגיע. ואחת לכמה זמן עוד הייתי תוהה עם עצמי מה קרה שם? למה הטורניר לא המשיך? ואולי הוא כן המשיך פשוט בלעדי ? ואולי בעצם הוא פשוט לא נגמר מעולם. אולי הוא עדיין קורה. טורניר אחד גדול וארוך. ואין שום שלב שני שאפשר להגיע אליו. גם לא שלישי או חצי גמר. ובטח שאין פודיום קטן שעולים אליו ושומעים מחיאות כפיים רחוקות או גביע נוצץ מפלסטיק או מדליית ארד שעולה בחניות הספורט בדיוק כמו מדליית הזהב. אין. פשוט ממשיכים לשחק עד שנשחקים. וגם אז - - - -

We’re All Going To Die takes on the simple task of exploring the meaning of life. Through colour, imagination, humour and fart jokes, Director Stefan Hunt asks you to look at the what ifs, the why nots and the oh wells that might flash before your eyes when paid a surprise visit by Death. With your internal monologue played by Jared Jekyll and Death played by Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings), you’re prompted to get existential whilst grinning from ear to ear during this independent short film of fantastical weirdness. The film is an adaptation from Stefan Hunt’s illustrated book ‘Were All Going To Die’ and part of a multimedia extravaganza of that same name that was launched in October 2017. The project uses death and art to empower its audience to fear less & live more. “Years ago I was crippled by fear. Reminding myself that I’m going to die has changed my approach to life. It’s the most powerful force to live by.” says Hunt, who independently funded this project alongside a successful Kickstarter campaign. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Let’s keep kicking fear in the balls.

This is a film about Gevin Fax, the oldest member of the women motorcycle collective, The Litas. Growing up in Los Angeles as an African American lesbian in the 1960s, Gevin found that the world wasn’t always forgiving. She started riding dirt bikes at the age of twelve which distanced her even further from the other kids. Though it was because of her love for riding that gifted her peace of mind; it was her meditation, her medicine, her way to escape all of the other noise. Now, because of The Litas, she shares her love for the road with thousands of women all over the world. -William Desena The Litas exists as the world’s largest female biking collective and provides a inclusive community for female riders globally. In 2016 I met a Lita member while backpacking Costa Rica. This led me to LA based Lita member, Gevin Fax. Gevin stuck me as a leader and tenacious headstrong woman right off the bat. I am inspired by Gevin’s unapologetic ability to follow her heart while empowering others to do the same. My hope is this film will instill the same flame for our audience to pursue whatever it is that makes them feel most alive. -Lindsey Hagen Brought to you by: Red Bull Media House Featuring: Gevin Fax & The Litas Produced by: Stept Studios Director: William Desena Executive Producer: Lindsey Hagen Associate Producer: Megan Arizmendi 16mm Cinematography: Ian Boll Post Production Supervisor: Connor Scofield Editor: Cameron Boll Colorist: Carlos Flores AC: Chris Naum Assistant Editor: Christian Carvallo, Chris Naum Sound Design: Leigh Powis Mix: Roman Richards

“Dinner For Few” is a ten minute CG-animated film depicting a sociopolitical allegory of our society. During dinner, “the system” works like a well-oiled machine. It solely feeds the select few who eventually, foolishly consume all the resources while the rest survive on scraps from the table. Inevitably, when the supply is depleted, the struggle for what remains leads to catastrophic change. Sadly, the offspring of this profound transition turn out not to be a sign of hope, but the spitting image of the parents. EMMY award winning animation artist Nassos Vakalis directed and wrote the film and the animation was produced in the United States of America and Greece with the technical and artistic collaboration of Eva Vomhoff from Germany. “Dinner For Few” is produced and funded by Nassos Vakalis and his wife Katerina Stergiopoulou. The original music is composed by Kostas Christides and performed by the Bratislava Symphonic Orchestra. “Dinner For Few” was inspired by the economic recession affecting South European countries like Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Nassos Vakalis grew up in Greece, where his family and most of his friends still live. “Dinner For Few” not only reflects his deep concern of the social and economic developments during the crisis but also highlights the inevitable and cyclical nature of the human affairs throughout history. Through its festival run “Dinner for few” screened at over 250 international film festivals and won 78 awards. It was one of the 60 Animated Shorts that Qualified for the Academy Awards in 2015.

Experience a beautiful timelapse journey through the landscapes of the Dolomites. The Dolomites are a mountain range located in northeastern Italy and are caractarised by it´s bold light-gray cliffs and spires flecked with snow. The film captures the atmosphere of the intriguing Dolomite mountains through a series of unique timelapses and a detailed soundscape. Sounds from natures own library are accompanied with subtle soundeffecs to support the atmosphere which in the mountains quickly can change from calm sunrise to intense thunderstorm. To get the full experience - headphones are highly recommended. All shot are made in the summer 2018 during a two week trip to the Dolomite mountains. I had the pleasure to experience a wonderful hike at the spectacular Tre Cime, the beautiful turquoise water at Lago di Sorapis, an insane rainstorm at Santa Maddalena, a quiet evening at Lake Misurina with amazing still water and much more. Photographer, editor and sounddesigner: Casper Rolsted FOLLOW MY WORK YouTube.com/CasperRolsted?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook.com/CasperRolstedVisuals Instagram.com/CasperRolsted Twitter.com/CasperRolsted FILM LOCATIONS IN “DOLOMITES”: 0:00 Lake Braies (Pragser Wildsee) Lake Braies, also known as the “Pearl among Dolomite lakes”, is characterised by its unique position in the north of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. 0:27 Lago di Landro (Dürrensee) The lake is located at the bottom of the Val di Landro. From the lake you can admire the steep rock faces of the Dolomites 0:46 Lake Misurina Lake Misurina is the largest natural lake of the Cadore and it is 1,754 m above sea level. The lake’s perimeter is 2.6 km long, while the maximum depth is 5 m. Near the lake there are about ten hotels with accommodation for around 500 people. 1:14 Passo Gardena (Gardena Pass) The pass connects Sëlva in the Val Gardena on the west side with Corvara in the Val Badia has an elevation of 2,136 m above sea level. It often becomes a busy route with tourists, motorcyclists and cyclists during the summer. The pass is very popular among tourist and hikers that visit the pass to access the dramatic mountains. 1:54 Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen) The Tre Cime di Lavaredo is three distinctive battlement-like peaks. They are probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps. The Cima Grande (the peak in the midtle) has an elevation of 2,999 metres (9,839 ft). It stands between the Cima Piccola (to the east), at 2,857 metres (9,373 ft), and the Cima Ovest (to the west), at 2,973 metres (9,754 ft). 2:37 Lago di Sorapis Lake Sorapis is a stunning turquoise lake in the Dolomites. The hike is not an easy task and involves sections with cables and ladders. This intermediate hike is worth the effort and offers incredible views of mountain peaks and the dreamy blue waters of Lake Sorapis. 2:45 Santa Maddalena The village of Santa Maddalena/St. Magdalena is located at the rear end of the Funes valley. The church together with the adjacent sacristy, the old school, and the “Obermesnerhof” farmstead form a unique ensemble in the foreground of the Odle/Geisler massif.

Artificial intelligence has excellent learning ability, but they have no imagination ability. Therefore, A.I. plans to steal the human’s as imagination makes everything possible. But at the same time, A.I. concludes that it is a human error as the ability can limit people due to the over imaginative mind. It makes humans to be afraid of death and leads people to believe in God which becomes a religion. Thus, A.I. creates a new religion by combining the characteristics of all gods so that every single human being can worship. All that faith has become energy sources that gives a power to A.I. to absorb the imagination ability from humans. Finally, artificial intelligence becomes perfect.

It’s a new century for Nikon imaging, and I’m super honored to be a part of it. The 101-year-old company has announced what I consider to be one of the most remarkable imaging devices on the planet, the Nikon Z7. Along with its companion, the Nikon Z6, these cameras mark Nikon’s debut in the world of full-frame mirrorless cameras. I was given wide latitude with the opportunity to create a short film using the new Nikon Z7, and the result is a film I’m calling “Morning.” The concept of this film was born out of the idea that so many of us really try to make our mornings count. Whether we’re writers or artists using those early hours to tap into our creativity, or we’re parents or spouses who are trying to make the first moments of our day really count, mornings are a sacred time of day. Many of us use those first hours of the day to go for a ski tour, bouldering, hit the gym, do yoga, or meditate. For me, when I’m lucky and not on a deadline, I like to take my mountain bike out for a ride on the trails surrounding Lake Tahoe. I thought that shooting a mountain-biking film in my backyard would be the ideal scenario. And it was fitting because during the short window of time I was given to create this film, mornings ended up being the only time of day I actually had to shoot! We worked with Kyle Smaine, an incredibly local athlete who is a world-class freeskier who can also ride a mountain bike like no one else. We shot Kyle tearing across a handful of my favorite trails and sections of granite in the Lake Tahoe basin. The Big Picture This isn’t just a new camera with a new mount that’s mirrorless and shoots silent. It’s a new and better tool in an ecosystem that I’m already using and love. The idea that I can continue to use all my favorite Nikkor lenses, but shoot higher-quality video with my eye pressed to the electronic viewfinder, take advantage of the autofocus capabilities, and produce higher-quality images all in a smaller form factor means that I might just be one of the most excited guys around after today’s big announcement. Thanks and More Soon… Thank you, first and foremost, to Nikon for the opportunity to represent your company as an Ambassador and to be given the opportunity to flex my creativity using the best tools on the planet.

There’s something fascinating about our own home galaxy. Even if we still cannot look at it from above and gaze at the full span of its arms, the sideway view offers a quite a showdown. To me the central part of the milky way is the most spectacular sight of the night sky. It’s something you can clearly see with the naked eye when you are away from city lights. It’s a sight that really brings your down to Earth and lets you wonder at how small we are, while comforting you in the thought that you are part of this Earth and the Universe. I could gaze for hours at the central bulge and just contemplate its compelling beauty from where it rises till where it sets.

From a photographic and scientific point of view, this part of the milky way is so interesting to capture and study because if our solar system is located in its suburbs, the downtown district of our home galaxy harbors billions upon billions of stars. They are so concentrated that the total light coming from them can be seen millions of light years away and really creates this halo of light visible when you take a picture of it, much like a fire blazing. However a thick blanket of dark hydrogen clouds shroud and block the complete view. You can even see these fine dark lanes with the naked eye and they really participate in making the whole picture something from another world. Of all of them the Pipe and Dark Horse nebulae are descending down the core obscuring the upper part of the central bulge. In addition to this celestial show many emission nebulae- reliques of previously exploded stars, pepper the disc. Among them the bright and colorful Lagoon nebula, the pink and blue Trifid nebula, the red Cat Paw, War and Peace and Prawn nebulae around Scorpius. Moreover many star clouds (like the Sagittarius star cloud) and other remarquable star clusters also participate in strewing this already full frame. Finally the closest stars (like Antares) and near planets visible during the time of shoot (Mars, Saturn, Jupiter) also give a sense of just how ridiculously big the distance between Earth the the core is. Being fascinated by the core since I started astrophotography where it was barely visible (Denmark), I started looking for the best places in the northern hemisphere where I could get a clear view. The first time I really saw it was on the beautiful island of Tenerife 4 years ago and I sincerely will remember that experience for the rest of my life. Gazing upon the center of our galaxy in its full glory is something everyone ought to try. That’s why I decided to dedicate the third opus of my astrolapse series ‘Galaxies’ exclusively to the core, assembling my best clips to date and bringing them to the public, mainly to raise awareness and to get our night sky a bit more attention. I was appalled by just how many people have never seen the milky way so maybe by showing the true beauty of the universe I could contribute in my own limited way to bringing the real dark skies to the hectic and light polluted urban jungle. The goal once again was to use the best techniques in astrophotography and time-lapse to exploit each frame to its maximum without compromising the quality. From planning, to traveling to remote locations, to shooting with some of the best astro-gear, and eventually finding a novel post-processing workflow, I was able to get some astounding and never-seen-before sequences of the core. Traveling to very elevated and dark places allowed me to get the best signal to noise ratio as well as the best ‘contrast effect’ in the halo created by the stars in the bulge. The array of extremely sharp and bright lenses I utilized permitted to decrease shutter speed and get less motion blur while getting extremely clean shots with little aberration. The use of an astro-modified camera (Canon 6D), light pollution filters (Pure night, Nachtlicht) and a star tracker (Vixen Polarie) enabled me to capture the H-alpha emission nebula better and generally get better contrast and light altogether (See the two previous episodes for explanation). To create motion I also used the Syrp Genie I 3-axis system and the Vixen Polarie. I really wasn’t interested in just getting the usual wide-angle shots of the milky way and tried a lot of different set-ups to get a new view on the core. I am really proud to say that thanks to a lot of relentless work to find the best astrolapse workflow, these sequences are some of the most defined available on the market with some of the best quality and true-to-life colors.

From the new album ‘One Hundred Billions Sparks’, released 20 Sept. Pre-order with tour tickets from Max Cooper’s official store: http://bit.ly/2BDyl4b For the ‘One Hundred Billion Sparks’ album project I want to tell a story of our one hundred billion sparking neurones, and the magic which they create: our minds. Early in the story I aimed for the “nuts and bolts” of the processes involved, but not in the sense of showing a neuroscience lecture, I want to find the artistry and beauty of the natural processes involved. Those are what make the richest visuals for my videos and live shows. Following this reasoning, one idea which came along, was to visualise a “Turing-complete” machine, which is a computer that is capable of performing any computation. This means the design of the computer is versatile enough to allow for any logical operation, within the constraints of the sorts of logical operations our usual computers can do. David Deutsch, amongst others, makes a convincing argument that human brains must also be universal computers in this sense, in his interesting new book ‘The Beginning of Infinity’. So I have some rough grounds at least, for making this link between brains and computers for the purpose of trying to get some hint of the visual essence of thought. The interesting aesthetic link comes in via the work of Stephen Wolfram, from his 2002 book, ‘A New Kind of Science’, where he shows that simple “cellular automata” models, growing blocks of binary colour following simple rules, can create rich behaviours in their growth patterns, and even yield a system capable of Turing-completeness. Following a systematic exploration of the simplest possible rules governing cell duplication, Rule 110 is the first rule which displays Turing-completeness (http://bit.ly/2o2Jemn), and is the simplest visual system that I know of which embodies this attribute. The really interesting thing is that Rule 110 also displays a very particular visual aesthetic, that of a combination of order and chaos, never totally predictable or totally random. For me, that potential artistic/aesthetic link to universal thought is pretty amazing, and it’s also an aesthetic/property which appears in many other important places in nature (for example http://bit.ly/2BOlJHA), as well as being one of the main principles of my approach to music, where a healthy dose of disorder is always important. After settling on this visual form for the project, I needed to create a piece of music which suited the retro blocky nature, which is something akin to Tetris. My immediate thought was big gated reverb snares and powerful classic synths. It had to be bold and clean in one the large scale, but also full of generative unpredictability. It all fit nicely with what I like to do anyway, and just pushed me in a slightly more poppy direction than anything else on the album. The initial focused time was spent finding the killer chord sequence and bold patch, then setting up a generative seething chaos of synthesis with plenty of random waveforms and modulations, then a long time on the arrangement detailing with more than 100 layers of sounds. I finally added a vocal from Wilderthorn, which I chopped into destruction, just there to add a little hint of humanity in amongst the computation. The final step in the process was to chat to the great visual artist, Raven Kwok, about the ideas and what I would like from the video. I was really happy when Raven showed me that he wasn’t just going to make an artistic interpretation of Rule 110, but had actually built his own version of the real system! So the video shows an authentic pattern-generation of Rule 110, where we can see moments of repetition and pattern, but never in perpetuity, it always returns to disorder. The colours and 3-dimensional explorations are Raven’s extension of the basic system. I still find it counter-intuitive that a simple deterministic system like this can yield undecidability in the content of its output, and I find it inspiring that this property relates to universal computation. It seems to me, at least, like the finest artistry. That’s why I wanted to include this story in my project. Perhaps those of you who are computer scientists will see that it must be so and that it is a trivial connection, if so, you’ll have to explain that to me some time! - Please sign up to the mailing list for news and exclusives: http://bit.ly/2o2JeCT Pre-order 'One Hundred Billion Sparks’ with tour tickets from the official store: http://bit.ly/2BDyl4b

facebook.com/johnduncanfilmmaker/ http://bit.ly/2OUWt3X john-duncan.co.uk Having spent the past seven months travelling all over Scotland to shoot my new film, ANCIENT SCOTLAND, I’ve never been more proud to call this country home. Shot at twenty one stunning locations from as the far north as Muckle Flugga at the very top of Shetland to the prehistoric wonder of Britain’s highest sea stacks near St Kilda, some 40 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. As the third in a series of Scottish aerial films, I wanted to continue the progression of theme. My first film, Beautiful Scotland, was really just a collection of beautiful shots. My second, Wild Scotland, embraced the wild theme of this country, featuring many of our wild animals. So for this third instalment I had to look deeper at what defines Scotland for me. It soon dawned on me that Scotland has so much of the ancient about it, not just in terms of architecture but far older geology (a field of study which has its roots here). This led to a shot list ranging from incredible, imposing castles through to totemic sea stacks and the looming presence of St Kilda, a citadel of rock standing proud amidst the crashing maelstrom of the Atlantic which was inhabited until the 1930s. Having already shot two films in Scotland, I’d already picked the low hanging fruit of the more accessible locations so the logistics of reaching and filming this film were definitely more challenging. Each shot involved some kind of, often physically demanding, adventure. Notable examples include a four day round trip to Shetland to capture 10 seconds of footage; the challenge of getting to the wildly remote sea stacks near St Kilda; and weathering 8 hours of miserable weather in a bivvy bag on a ridge in Skye, just to be there for sunrise. The process of filming this has led to personal experiences which defy superlatives, not least the simple, awe inspiring, moments surrounded by silence as the sun rises over the horizon. Being on top of a mountain when the sun rises is an experience you will never forget. Scotland is truly a country made for those who love the outdoors in its wonder. Get out and explore it.

An alien wildlife mockumentary set on a distant planet, ‘Planet Tobler’, starring Christopher Lloyd( ‘Back To The Future’, ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest’, ‘Adam’s Family’, ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’). Travel with us to the furthest reaches of our galaxy, where for the first time in history, we bring you documented footage, of an alien planet, and it’s wildlife…never…seen…before. Planet Tobler heavily references BBC’s Planet Earth series, presented by David Attenborough. It brewed from admiration of wildlife documentaries such as Planet Earth but also takes a cheeky interpretation of the natural world where naughty bits and quirky misfits engulf this foreign land. It’s a personal project that was made without distributors or funding. A passion project made for the love of making animation, having fun, and portrays how out-of-touch most human’s are with nature. Sound Designer and Founder of Echolab, Gavin Little helped produce this film with me which lead to having one of the most iconic voices of my life, Christopher Lloyd come on board. It was an absolute pleasure working and directing the Hollywood Legend, which felt surreal, daunting and incredibly exciting all at the same time. Credits: Directed by Aran Quinn Narrated by Christopher Lloyd( Back To The Future, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Who Framed Roger Rabbit).

CoolHunting > If “Mango” affirms anything, it’s that Lakeith Stanfield has mastered more than one craft. The track sees the acclaimed actor partnering with music producer HH (Hrishikesh Hirway), under the moniker MOORS, and the result is electrifying. tUnE-yArDs features on the song, amplifying the magnetism and underlining the strange magic of it all. Visual artist ruffmercy directed the video, which incorporates pop art visual manipulation that truly rounds out the experience—which tUnE-yArDs’ Merrill Garbus is quick to point out is, in fact, altogether weird. GQ > A still from the music video Mango by the Moors UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP And it’s as fun and weird as you’d imagine. For a couple of years now, Lakeith Stanfield, the unpredictable genius and star of Sorry to Bother You, has been making music with producer HH under the name MOORS. Experimental and dark, MOORS makes music that’s equally free-associative and confrontational—kind of like Stanfield himself. It’s why you need to check out the video for “Mango,” the latest track from MOORS, featuring another GQ favorite—tUnE-yArDs. The video for “Mango” features Stanfield dancing and rapping in a church as RUFFMERCY’s distinct animation is overlaid, giving the whole thing a very throwback, Keith Haring-esque vibe. Spin > Recent Sorry To Bother You star Lakeith Stanfield is part of a rap duo called Moors with musician and producer Hrishikesh Hirway, and today, the duo has returned with a new song. With backing music from Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus, “Mango” is a new collaborative single following both musicians’ contributions to the recent Boots Riley film. In a statement shared with the single, Garbus writes: “Lakeith came to our studio in Oakland twice to work on vocals. He had really specific ideas about the track, different characters he wanted to give voice to, and we worked together to keep amping up the weird. Times are weird. Lakeith is reflecting his universes and creating new ones — it’s fascinating and important and we’re grateful and lucky to be a part of amplifying his voice.”

With massive urban sprawl and a reputation for being the cold Lombard capital, Milan doesn’t feel like a quintessentially Italian metropolis, but with settlers from all over the country making their home here, visitors will find all of Italy in one city.

Trendy bars and boutiques rub shoulders in the back streets, while on the busy thoroughfares mighty towers signal the city’s superior economic clout. Milan is also the home of two big football clubs, A.C. Milan and Inter Milan, who share the historic San Siro stadium. As the epicentre of Italian fashion and interior design, there is certainly a buzz about the city. International fashionistas, designers, supermodels and paparazzi descend upon Milan twice a year for its spring and autumn fairs. Many high-end designers still use the city’s trusted producers and it remains one of the best places in the world to shop. Despite the air of modern flair, there is a rich history here too. Cut through the modern metropolitan bustle, and you will stumble across countless impressive churches and palaces. Start with the breath-taking Duomo di Milano in the city centre, a colossal Gothic cathedral, one of the largest in the world. Then there’s the Santa Maria delle Grazie church, which houses Da Vinci’s restored Last Supper painting, and survived bombing raids in WWII. There is plenty to see near the Duomo too, including the city’s fabled opera house, La Scala, and Sforza Castle, a grand medieval fortress. Nearby is Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an ancient and glamorous arcaded shopping gallery. Not all of Milan’s aesthetic appeal lies in the historic centre. The pretty Navigli area in the south has become popular for its many bars and restaurants, as has the chic Brera district and lively university quarter. Meanwhile, former industrial areas are undergoing urban renewal schemes, such as the old Fiera area, which includes new apartments, a park, a contemporary art museum and a trio of futuristic skyscrapers. It’s bold reinvention like this which reminds us that Milan is truly Italy’s most dynamic city. Probabilmente si pone all’attenzione per altro o preferisce mostrare una delle sue due facce, quella della città capoluogo dell’economia italiana, quella di una città dinamica ai limiti della sopportazione, la città del “lavoro, guadagno, pago, pretendo!” per citare una delle parodie più classiche del milanese tipo… Milano probabilmente nasconde o preferisce non mettere in mostra quelli che sono i suoi veri tesori (che sono quelli per cui in altre città, il turista rimane incantato): gli angoli più nascosti e defilati, magari anche lontani dal centro, le stradine meno frequentate e dove si possono trovare sia lussuosi palazzi settecenteschi e ottocenteschi sia le più modeste case di ringhiera, un must dell’attuale concetto dell’abitare in città, le botteghe degli artigiani, importanti musei e pinacoteche, un patrimonio monumentale tra i più ricchi della penisola …un vero e proprio volto parallelo diverso da quello divulgato dai mezzi di comunicazione…. luoghi comuni compresi! Milano è bella immersa nella nebbia, quando i rumori sono attutiti e i palazzi sembrano ancora più monumentali, e i giardini diventano i luoghi delle favole con strane creature che scopri essere semplicemente dei cagnolini al guinzaglio. Milano è bella sotto la neve, quando quella magnifica”torta” ( è uno spettacolo, qualcosa che lascia a bocca aperta anche per l’unicità dello stile) che è il Duomo lo diventa ancora di più profilata da un sottile strato di brina e quando una strana eccitazione sale tra la gente che cammina per le strade imbiancate. E Milano è bella con il sole nelle belle giornate di primavera, fresche, con un cielo azzurro uniforme e che lascia risaltare le evidenze architettoniche della città: il Duomo, il Castello Sforzesco, la Stazione Centrale, il Pirellone, la Torre Velasca. Milano è bella anche in pieno agosto, con le strade vuote e le saracinesche abbassate, con l’afa che trasforma i Navigli in canali veneziani e con le zanzare in agguato che, come tutti sanno,…. amano l’aperitivo in uno dei tantissimi locali di questa zona.

Only in silence can we hear the song of nature. Natural silence is not the absence of sound from nature it is the absence of noise from modern life. Listen in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Headphones of are highly recommended. http://bit.ly/2vjEooL SILENCE PROJECT This is the second episode in my silence project. Through a series of films I will present nature at its most natural. To fully capture the authentic atmosphere of the places I have combined the visuals with a detailed soundscape. No music or artificial sound effects have been used in this film project only the songs from nature’s own sound library. To make the experience as natural as possible both the audio and video are recorded in some of nature’s most undisturbed places. This project was born out of love for the undisturbed places in nature. The goal of the project is to share the wonders of nature with as many people as possible and thereby ensuring its protection and enjoyment for generations to come. I plan to accomplish this goal through stunning short films with breathtaking video and audio. SILENT LISTENING The nature is busy communicating and in places without noise pollution we can listen to the nature at its most natural. Listening is not about trying to hear the sounds that you believe are important. Instead simply listening to the place without comparing sounds to what is already known. If we silent listen to nature in undisturbed places without prejudices we can experience the big diversity of nature and the faintest sounds gain their original importance in the soundscape. Humans developed in a world where only the sounds of nature filled the air. Our ears are evolved to hear these often soft and information rich ambiences which help us experience our surroundings. But in our noisy urban environment our hearing is continuously being overloaded and thus we have learned to experience our surroundings through our vision. Even when we visit a silent place in nature we try to experience the place through our vision instead of listening to the place. Vision is focused in one direction at the time and is excellent when it comes to focusing our attention on a given event. But vision is very limiting when it comes to capturing the full image of a given place. Therefore hearing and not vision is the preferred sense in nature. The full image of a given place does not only expand in every direction around us but it expands for far distances behind visual objects that block the view but do not block the sounds. In a silent environment sound can travel far distances and can easily travel around objects. Further, it is often difficult to get visual contacts with wildlife but nothing escapes our hearing if we listen in silence. There are many benefits of experiencing silence in nature. Natural silence is relaxing, reduce stress and increase overall productivity. Conversely, noise pollution cause stress, increase risk of cardio-vascular disease and has a negatively impact on overall productivity. When we live more quiet lives, we become healthier, more relaxed, and better able to listen to others and the world around us. The industrial revolution and population growth has unleashed an epidemic of noise pollution that has made natural silence one of our fastest-disappearing resources. It is my goal that these films will raise the audience’s awareness to the importance of silence. I hope to bring the experience of natural silence to the audience and encourage an interest in saving the undisturbed places in nature. We need to learn how to listen again to fully appreciate nature’s whispers. GRATEFUL LIVING In our stressful society we so seldom find the time to relax and regenerate. Use these films as an escape from a stressful and noisy environment. Here you will experience natural silence and wide relaxing spaces. We strive through life for status and recognition, and we attach ourselves to material things in the belief that they will make us happy. I believe that it is only when we free ourselves from this pursuit of external satisfying that we can displace the inner emptiness and create lasting happiness and tranquility in our stressed minds. In fact, it is only our idea about that something is missing that prevents us from being happy. Happiness comes from being grateful for our situation and for all the things we already have. It is when we can rejoice together with others, that life makes sense, and true happiness arises. Happiness is not a destination; it is a process - a wonderful journey. Nature’s beauty can be so easily missed. It is my hope that these films will contribute to a deeper understanding and gratitude of the natural wonders in our world and to the preservation of our fragile environment in the future.

“Well, as a female actress you get really good at crying and taking your clothes off—sort of like how the male actors get really good at sword fighting and having all the dialogue.” —Matilda Ridgway in The Guardian A working theatre actor questions her calling when she plays Lady Macduff in an increasingly violent production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, with an internationally celebrated auteur director.

Poppy Edwards: Lyrics, Writer/ Co-producer (vocals, piano, alto sax) John Tonks: Writer/Co-producer Georgios Cherouvim: Video Camera: Charly Feldman Lukas Hyrman Alex Seltzer Crøm-lus (Poppy Edwards) Strange Jealousy is mash up of warped sounds, acoustic instruments and synth sound design. Sounds and motifs flow in and out throughout the song, sometimes deliberately detuning, giving a feeling of uneasiness. This uneasiness links to the song’s emotion, the subject of which touches on family, love and its peripheries. This song has references to the aesthetics of trip-hop, jazz and Dub, with “instrumental inversion and ghostly voices, distant horn sections, odd perspectives, deep illusions and unexpected noises” [David Toop]. Perfecting this song came from the genius ears of Producer John Tonks, who has worked with many artists I admire from Tricky, to Massive Attack and Neneh Cherry. Georgios Cherouvim The visuals of the video are generated algorithmically and feature visually complex patterns that emerge through the simulation of a self organizing behavioral system. Such patterns appear in nature and the brain is tuned to categorize them as organic, which also carries an inherited feeling of unease. This is used in the video as a vehicle to reflect on the emotions of the song. Taking the lead from the lyrics, the patterns evolve and shift between ambiguous shapes to the recognizable form of the two faces, an elegant interplay between synthesis, metamorphosis and decomposition of organic patterns and the human figure. The video was shot and edited as normal and then used to drive the behavior of a multi agent based system, obeying a set of simple rules and forces. The most characteristic behavior is the slime mold (Physarum Polycephalum) which creates a distinct network of interconnected branches. Over the years slime mold has fascinated many scientists and artists. Even though Physarum Polycephalum is a single cell organism, it exhibits a remarkable sensory-motor behavior and has the ability to create complex networks while searching for nutrients. Despite the lack of a central nervous system, it is able to effectively locate, migrate towards sources of food and over time optimize its complex network of interconnected branches, to effectively transport the nutrients over its constantly changing body. The system was implemented in Touch Designer, with the core logic coded in GLSL with compute shaders and can also be performed in real time. Off-line motion vectors were extracted from the video using Furnace in Nuke. —- References Jones, J.
