Kilowatts - Problem/Solved

~ January 22, 2007 at 12:51 (Views: 61 )

Kilowatts has released a remix album that i did a remix for.

Problems/Solved is the remix album follow-up to KiloWatts' Problem/Solving album, featuring remixes by such notables as Deru, The Marcia Blaine School for Girls, and The Alpha Conspiracy. The cinematic and masterful tracks from Problem/Solving grow into an entirely new, but somehow familiar, collection, spanning ambient drones and breakbeat wizardry.

Problems/Solved is a digital-only release. You can purchase the tracks through iTunes and other digial distributors, and you can purchase high-quality DRM-free mp3s at the artificial music machine store.



Here is a sample of the remix i did:
Scraped on the way out (Ears Akimbo mix) (mp3)

The album is a digital release only, you can buy from artificialmusicmachine.com, cdbaby or on iTunes!

Chris Cunningham videos

~ February 14, 2006 at 15:18 (Views: 612 )

Chris Cunningham is a British music video film director and video artist.

He started as a comic book artist for the UK weekly 2000 AD under the name Chris Halls.

His video work, "Flex" (containing original music by Aphex Twin) was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2000.

He has worked on special make-up effects for the films Alien³, Alien: Resurrection and Judge Dredd and model making on Hardware and Nightbreed. He also worked for over a year on the film A.I. when it was a Stanley Kubrick project.

Cunningham once had plans to direct a film of Neuromancer by William Gibson, and of the comic book series RanXerox, as well as A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. He has said in at least two interviews that he no longer wishes to adapt someone else's work, but write his own screenplay.

(text from wikipedia )

Björk - All Is Full Of Love


Squarepusher - Come On My Selector


Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (beware, strong language)


Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy



The maverick filmmaker recently returned from an unofficial creative hiatus with the release of a six-minute short film called Rubber Johnny about a huge-headed mutant imbecile trapped in a basement. Backed once again by the music of Aphex Twin, the clip (and its accompanying photo/sketchbook filled with grotesque body formations) fits into Cunningham's deep-space-weird canon as it follows the title character (played-- reluctantly, it seems-- by the director) through a quick edit phantasmagoria of splattering night-vision images. I called Cunningham at his English home recently to chat about Johnny, his videos, working with Stanley Kubrick, and the dearth of activity that's left hungry fans salivating for his next round of visual feasts. "I feel like I'm about to get busy again," he says. An army of freaks rejoice.

Soundtrack of the weekend

~ January 23, 2006 at 12:08 (Views: 121 )

Ears Akimbo - amb466 (mp3)
I put together this track this weekend, its heavily inspired by Cliff Martinez. He is one of my absolute favorite movie soundtrack composers. I highly recommend two of the movies he made the soundtracks for, both directed by Steven Soderbergh:

Solaris (2002)
"Upon arrival at the space station orbiting an ocean world called Solaris a psychologist discovers that the commander of an expedition to the planet has died mysteriously. Other strange events soon start happening as well, such as the appearance of old acquaintances of the crew, including some who are dead."







Traffic (2000)
"Intertwining vignettes frame this tale of America's escalating War on Drugs. Ohio Supreme Court judge Robert Wakefield has been appointed the nation's Drug Czar, his new position made more daunting by the discovery that his teenage daughter Caroline is a heroin addict. Meanwhile, DEA agents Montel Gordon and Ray Castro are pursuing Helena Ayala, wife of jailed kingpin Carlos Ayala, as she seeks to the control the business that her husband had kept hidden from her. South of the Border, duplicious local constable Javier Rodriguez is fighting the battle with his own jaded, questionable ethical code."
