Future Retro


Where did this come from? King Britt reinvents himself as some kind of retro futurist producing a great EP for hyperdub that fuses John Carpenter, the odder Shuggie Otis tracks and early Autechre. Space Dimension Controller, Symmetry and now King Britt... is everyone making soundtracks for imaginary films? If Ridley Scott does do Blade Runner II then he's got a wealth of artists to choose from to do the score! 

A little bit of the aforementioned Shuggie Otis:

Thankfully King Britt et al have kept me occupied whilst Anti-Christ has been on TV... without this retro futurism I could not have made it to the end of the film! Apparently surfing the net is the modern equivalent of putting your hands over your eyes when it gets scary. Every time it looked like there was going to be some disturbing scenes I quickly grabbed the laptop! Lars von Trier's films are getting weirder and weirder (if that were possible!) soon he'll be making films as disturbing as the one below:

Super8 footage - Electric Elephant Croatia 2011



Electric Elephant 2011 seems like such a long time ago now... well I suppose it was as it was about 8 months ago! We made a couple of promo videos for Electric Elephant 2012, one of which has been used, but here's the other one that hasn't been released to the wider world as of yet. This one was shot exclusively on Super8 and in the intensive heat of Croatia...it was so hot last summer that one local welcomed us to Hell when we arrived! In fact we might holiday in Hell this year as I'm sure it'll be a little bit cooler... we'll have to see if they want any visuals!
