Know what’s kind of a bummer? That this music video is only one minute and fifty-three seconds long. Journeys down the wormhole should be at least three to four minutes long at a minimum – like this little gem for instance. Anyways, the backing tune is from Delta Heavy and the visuals were created by, well, I have no idea actually. If you know who directed/animated the attached video please drop us a line and we’ll update the post to give proper credit where it is due.
Cheers to l3mon for the suggestion. Thanks!

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.

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!

More Steve Smith, more Slugabed, more Ninja Tune. All good things, friends. Ensure HD is on, click full screen, don the headphones and bask in the ever-shifting strangeness.

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!

Experience the world of various vibrations we hear and see every day, only slowed down 1000 times. This short but sweet video was created by the crew at Fluke Technologies. I’m assuming this was done for promotional purposes, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out what these guys are trying to sell. Calibration and testing products? It’s all greek to me, but if they’re cool enough to spread trippy vibes via the interwebs, then I’m a fan!
My favorite part is the cymbal, btw :)

“So you’ve heard of every instrument but?
Torn from your history books is this pianola,
This harpsichord of harm.
The cruelest instrument to spawn from man’s grey cerebral soup.
The Cat Piano.”
KC Gordon posted this gem to our Facebook wall over a week ago and it’s a shame that it took us so long to get it up on the site. ‘The Cat Piano’ is a fantastic eight-and-a-half minute animated short based on a poem by Eddie White. Eddie, along with Ari Gibson, directed the film, Nick Cave provided the narration and animation duties were expertly handled by The People’s Republic of Animation. The whole film is great but we especially enjoy the sequence that starts at 4:52. Enjoy!
Thanks for the heads-up, KC! If you’ve got anything that you think would be perfect for The Tripatorium™ you can submit your suggestions either here on the site or on our Facebook page.

Chris wrote in again (he’s the kind fellow who sent us Wanderlust and Mykonos) with this wonderfully bizarre E*VAX directed bird-tastic music video for RATATAT. We love it. Maybe you will, too?
Thanks again, Chris!
