I really like dated animations with surreal and very interpretable plotlines.

So I enjoyed this 1975 animation by Ali Akbar Sadeghi.

There's something quite videogame-like about the whole thing too.

Courtesy of UBU again.

The Finger

It's just a relatively cheap plug-in enabling you to play around with sound in loads of ways using different keys to trigger different effects and editing techniques.

Kind of ridiculous how easy and accessable it will make all of that stuff, but that's probably a good thing!

LOOK

Saying that, for it to be fully customisable you've got to run it through Reaktor, which is relatively hardcore territory.

Hudson Mohawke Interview

Look at him he's just a boy!

Good Morning Mr. Orwell

Amazing video from 1984 led by Nam June Paik.

Played on New Year's Day and presented live by various people across the globe, so there are some awkward live moments but it's filled with amazing people and graphics.

More info at UBU.

Logic System

At risk of just being a filter of Mutant Sounds (which would actually be quite useful in a way), I found a really good post they did earlier this year on Logic System (aka this guy, who did loads of sound programming for the Yellow Magic Orchestra).

In my opinion the first album is better than the second one but they're both HERE.

Good, quite dancey, melodic, 1981, Japanese, pretty fashionable...
