Chase No Face
“No post-production effects were used in this video. Everything on the face is happening in real-time, via hacked Kinect, laptop and LED projector.”
Diggin’ this rad and inventive work from Zach Lieberman, Francisco Zamorano, Andy Wallace, and Michelle Calabro that is an apt visual accompaniment to the ethereal, chill sounds of BELL. Enjoy!
For a behind-the-scenes look at how this music video came together check out this video that Francisco posted to his Vimeo account.

Mars1 and Doze Green
“Where I usually look for inspiration is the macro and micro; the place where words end and the grey area begins and things start becoming more difficult to explain…”
Up-and-coming photographer/filmmaker Colin M Day put together this film of a collaboration between two ultra-talented artists Mars1 and Doze Green who are equally comfortable with spray cans and exterior walls as they are with blank canvases and brushes. I’m not sure what I like more: seeing the finished piece or hearing their explanations of it’s meaning. Metatron forever…

blackhole
Whoa. This one is weird. And wonderful. And trippy. And bursting with colo– well it’s a lot of things, OK? ‘blackhole’ is definitely one of those music videos you want to watch full-screen with the headphones on and the volume up. Both the visuals and the tune were created by super-talented arjanM. Prepare for a bask in the bizarre, friends!
Big ups to IntellJ for sending this fantastic little suggestion our way! Cheers!

Bermuda
“Filmed using a Motion Control Camera Rig. No computer generated effects or compositing utilized.”
I’ve watch this video a few times now and have been trying to figure out how Calvin Frederick pulled off such fluid movement sans computer generated effects/compositing. It’s not just impressive filmmaking techniques that drew me to ‘Bermuda’; it’s kaleidoscopic abstract aesthetic, vaguely unsettling music (by Daniel Walter Eaton) and infinite hall-of-mirrors framing all combine to create a truly intriguing viewing experience. It’s a feast for the eyes, friends. Enjoy the strangeness!

Shinkansen ver.2
Daihei Shibata – the brilliant mind behind The Light of Life – documented a ride between Shinosaka and Tokyo on the Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train network. After choosing a nice tune from Van She to add some atmosphere Daihei mirrored the footage along the horizontal axis, gave it a thoughtful prune with some well timed edits and voilà: he’s finished. The whole affair is decidedly chill. We approve.
Also on The Tripatorium™: If you dig this then don’t hesitate to click here for another electronic-music soaked train ride courtesy of none-other-than Mr. Michel Gondry himself.

Valleys of Neptune
This video has been out for a while now – over a year actually, which is basically forever in internet time – but we didn’t know about it ‘til Missy Shedlock suggested it to us back in May. We instantly loved it but refrained from posting cause, well, we couldn’t. Sure, it existed and all but never in a state that fulfilled the two core tenets of The Tripatorium™ simple, stringent posting policy:
1. Always search for an HD version of a video and, if found, post that one.
2. Any video that is posted must be watchable on the site.
The video Melissa sent in was in gorgeous 1080p HD but, because it was posted by VEVO (curses!), it had embedding disabled. Which is so inexplicably strange to me. They understand that I want to advertise their content for free, right? That I want to spread the word about the recently-released Jimi Hendrix album comprised of completely new material without expectation of payment of any kind? And they wonder why their precious ‘industry’ continues to hemorrhage money. It should also be noted that we found it on Vimeo but it was in standard-def (bummer).
Anyways, the video is so fucking great that I got fed up with waiting for someone else to rip and upload it that I did it myself with the handy-dandy Easy YouTube Video Downloader. I’m confident Jimi would be pleased with the bang-up, psychedelic, kaleidoscopic and colorful treatment String Theory employed to pull it all together. I also like to think Mr. Hendrix would be a fan of our humble little website if he were still around today so do yourself a favor and wait to watch this one until you’ve got enough time set aside to let the 1080p load full-screen and access to a nice sound system/pair of headphones that will enable you to give your maximum attention to the sonic stylings of a true master. Enjoy!
Thanks for sending this one in, Missy! Our sincerest apologies for not getting it up on the site sooner.

Hambuster
Five students from Supinfocom Arles – Paul Alexandre, Maxime Cazaux, Dara Cazamea, Romain Delaunay and Bruno Ortolland – expertly crafted this surreal, bizarre and most-definitely trippy animated short for their final graduation project. As a life-long fan of monster movies I whole-heartedly approve. Enjoy!
A big thanks goes to Ted Mentele for submitting this all-the-way back in May. Our apologies for not getting it on the site sooner; it was inexplicably buried deep within our inbox and, like a treasure long buried, became a most-welcome surprise when we unearthed it this morning. Cheers!

The Art of Jeremy Fish
Rodney Montenegro wrote in with a hot tip to check out http://sillypinkbunnies.com, the online home of super-talent Jeremy Fish. This is just an ultra-small sampling of Jeremy’s vast portfolio – a mere appetizer – so click here when you’re ready to dive into the main course. So then, what would this link be? An apéritif? Dessert? Just another course? Perhaps it would be best to get straight to the point and put it plainly: it’s a high definition, Jay-Z backed time lapse video of Jeremy painting. So yeah, watch that. It’s awesome.
Thanks, Rodney!

Sur Le Quai
Colorful high definition animation set to some french electro pop that takes the viewer on a bizarre fantastic voyage through a forest to a flying train, the inner wormhole visions of the mind and beyond. In other words: an instant classic of The Tripatorium™. Direction from Sanghon Kim, production by Machine Molle (of Cartoon Style Fighting Kids fame) with backing tunes courtesy Les Mains Ensorcelées.
The proper viewing ritual should be familiar by now: full screen, in HD with a nice pair of headphones strapped to your skull. Enjoy!

Who’s Gonna Save My Soul?
“For you.”
“You do realize I’m breaking up with you, right?”
“Well that’s the strange thing; it’s actually yours now. I don’t know why it works that way but I’m never going to be able to get over you and so from now on every girl that I meet will be meticulously compared to you and, unfortunately, none of them will be able to measure up to the false memory of what you and I once ‘had’.”
Chris Milk directed this fantastic more-than-a-music-video for one of my all-time favorite acts, Gnarls Barkley. Bask in the strangeness, friends.

Artificial
“The idea was to make a visual representation of how art communicates with the viewers emotions, and it was very inspiring to animate other artists work.”
Sven Larsen passed along this minute-and-a-half short film by Lasse Gjertsen – Mr. Hyperactive himself – that takes you on a tour of Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall in Arendal, Norway. The visuals are subtle, sufficiently trippy and go especially well with the mellow backing tunes, also by Lasse. Enjoy!
Thanks for the heads up, Sven!

She Just Likes to Fight
chutieboy took some time-lapse footage shot by Philip Bloom, kaleidoscope-o-fied it and then set it to some chilled-out Four Tet. After being subjected to our stringent approval process this video was unanimously deemed, ‘Suitable for mellow reflection and contemplation after a long weekend of merry-making.’ Recommended use instructions: full screen HD and headphones. Enjoy!

Chute
Absolutely loving Mathias Lachal’s graduation film from his time at Emile Ecole. The fluidity of motion his animation exhibits reminds me a lot of Shinichirō Watanabe‘s work, especially the smooth action sequences in Samurai Champloo. We expect great things from Mathias in the future and will be keeping close watch on his Vimeo account.
A big thanks goes to Tyler Vanston for another fantastic suggestion. Speaking of suggestions, we’ve been inundated with lots of great submissions over the past few weeks and are doing our best to catch up. Be assured: we check out each-and-every one so keep em’ coming, friends.

Poisson Vert
Rogier van der Zwaag and Nobody Beats the Drum have teamed up again – y’all remember Grindin’, right? – to delicious effect. Headphones and full-screened HD is probably the most efficient way to ingest this strange, stop-motion journey through the forest backed with catchy electro-synth soaked grooves. Get up on it like this.
Fun Fact: This video was financed by the Dutch TAX fund and took over seven nights of shooting in the forests near Putten to complete. Click here if you’re interested in a behind-the-scenes peek of how it all came together.

Last Known Surroundings
Ptarmak (direction), Sissy Emmons (illustration) and David Hobizal (animation) teamed up to create this abstract, mysterious and psychedelic music video for the Austin-based post-rock outfit Explosions in the Sky. Good stuff, friends.
A big thanks goes to Niko for bringing it to our attention.

The Beatles
Advertisements, by their very nature, are usually pretty awful. The primary function of a commercial is not to entertain but rather to coerce; to compel the viewer to do something they otherwise might not want to. I went back and forth about whether or not to post this but decided in the end, hey, what the fuck, right? I mean, there’s a giant escalator that delivers the goddamn Beatles to a huge pair of eyes keeping watch over a fire-ringed rainbow waterfall that’s hovering above a towering blue marching elephant. This is exactly the type of stuff this site was created to showcase in the first place.
I like living in a society where goods are created and sold – I’m no idealistic separatist by any means – and if those products include marketing budgets for moving pictures I’d rather see that money go to production houses like Passion Pictures, especially if it means they have the resources to keep creating inventive and original stuff like this.
A big thanks goes to Arian for sending this one in. Cheers!

Quite Entrancing
Psst, watch this in HD plz!
I don’t often have the patience for slow-moving videos like this one, but once you make it past the 2-minute mark you’ll see why I posted it. It’s hard to figure out just who this “unc” character is, considering his Vimeo page offers no info and a web search yielded even less. I guess for now, we are left with only his amazing videos to speak for him, and that’s more than enough for me. While this one is slow and meditative, others are frantic or even messy, but they are all in their own way incredibly enjoyable to watch.

Don Whitaker, the mind behind Squircle Zoom, just completed another fractal video backed with a tune by Eskmo, one of the many fine artists from Ninja Tune. Serving suggestion: full screen + headphones. Enjoy!
