In my usual fashion I stumbled across a musician–actually two…well sort of but not really–that I was unaware of before this morning. Oh and an artist to boot. So really it’s like 3 for 1 rather than the 2 for 1 I advertised in the title.
The route for me, more often than not, is happening upon a video that looks of interest. This is the case this morning when pre-coffee I happened upon a video for Black Mold’s ‘Spiderwebs” from the album “Snow Blindness is Crystal Antz” on the Flemish Eye label. I have a certain fondness for animation which is why I clicked to check it out. The animation is done by Chad VanGaalen. Good stuff.
Then cause I am a googling whiz (for the record I hate the use of goggle as a verb…fought it for years…have realized it is a losing battle…gave up) I dug up a little more info and found out that the animator Chad VanGaalen and Black Mold are one in the same. You can find some of his music on his Chad VanGaalen MySpace page as well as on the Black Mold MySpace page.
Enjoy the video…

I’m having trouble puzzling the numbers out. But cool video! The music renders it most amusingly grotesque. If it had been done with other music, I don’t know what the result would have been.
Wait, I’ll test it.
OK, I just turned the vimeo sound down and watched it to Pet Shop Boys “Love Comes Quickly” – (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlvXBItM7zY) – it works great!
Maybe the original music works so well you don’t realize how versatile the visuals are.
Ooo, funny synch-up on the line, “can’t stop falling!” 😀
Yeah well math was never my strong point.
Had to give the video with Pet Shop Boys as the soundtrack a try and By George and Jove and God too for that matter) it did work quite well! Cool!
I know! I’m scared to try any others. That was the first song to cross my mind for the purpose, and if the next I try works just as well then the magic is cheapened.
you should change you twitter name to Awesomedorf.
ha ha ha..snort
Awesomedorf…has a ring to it. I like it, I like it! I might have to take that under some serious consideration. Yup.
