Alpha Tuning – Free System (2007)

So I found a very old gem on the ‘Wayback Machine’, Alpha Tuning’s debut album ‘Free System‘, which he was offering as an open download.

Another compilation album that caught my eye out of the old mixtape collection is breakcore.nl’s release; Themeless 6.

Motion collage is something I specialised in while I was doing visuals. Always good to see another visual artist push the envelope. This is a fine example.

Notwithstanding the early forays into foto-dynamacism, the early poets enjoyed a foray into moving motion picture and accompanying sound (1913). A quick glance at some early motion graphics. First some early Dadaist expressionism from 1923 with added sound, (the sound was added as an afterthought). The Dada movement was very early mixing poetry with film; and some simple stopmotion which could be considered the beginning of motion on film.

The one of the first big budget studio movies with motion graphics and how they went through the process of modeling and building in 1977. This clip explains some CGI (computer generated imagery) in it’s infancy, and for me this is a very early example.

Then further down the road the Atari Video Music box from 1977 which was a very simple but effective sound visualiser. It appears to be one of the first commercially available sound visualisers; quite a visual treat for visual jockeys.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.’ I supposed we all thought that, one way or another.
