The Bloody Beetroots,International Pillow Fight Day,Clara Moto,Nicoletta Ceccoli, Angus and Julia Stone,Inside Outside, Mark Linkous,The Raveonettes

After months of waiting last night finally i saw the almighty Bloody Beetroots live in the Paradiso Amsterdam , after 10 minutes of madness and a eruption of bodies smashing against each other the most bizarre happened , the bloody beetroots returned to back stage , management explained that was a power failure.
15 minutes later the guys are back on the stage and it was amazing , thrilling , an overdose of satisfactions , all the sins in a sardine can , energetic , intense , disturbing , anarchy , blood , rebellious , enthusiastic , revolution , eccentric , hell on Earth .

And the sound inside Paradiso ,OMG superb as always , loud as it should and invadind all the sences .

‘Polyamour’ is the debut album from Austrian electronic music starlet, Clara Moto; it’s a lush, emotive and startlingly mature body of work from a supremely talented young artist/producer and a superb addition the catalogue of Agoria’s much hailed Infine label.

Clara Moto (christened Clara Prettenhofer) was born in the pretty village of Graz, where she developed a love of music through playing the many instruments in her family home before finding a passion for DJing. This passion took her from sets at her local student bar to gigs at Vienna’s Elevate and Springs Festivals and onwards to Melbourne, Sonar in Barcelona and the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada. During this global journey Clara met up with an enthusiastic French DJ going by the name of Agoria, he showed an obvious passion for nurturing fresh talent on his Infine label and instantly saw the potential in Clara’s fledgling productions.Infine

With just one spot of red paint between the eyes the Parisian artist ZEVS, executes the advertising industry's images of perfect humans. 'People don't think about the force of advertising,' says Zevs and continues, 'But with just one psst I remove the force. No one wants to be identified with a dead person so advertising looses its effect'. ZEVS calls his action 'Visual Attack', and he has executed billboards worth millions around Paris. At the same time, ZEVS is a respected artist who exhibits all around the world. "Inside Outside" follows ZEVS and other so-called street artists from New York, Stockholm, Copenhagen and São Paulo. They all make a living off their art, but they also have an urge to exhibit their work illegally in the streets

The Raveonettes have released a video for their song ‘Heart of Stone’. The video is animated and is directd by Chris Do.

“A man's unexpressed agony at the loss of his lover incites a chain reaction of inner chaos and turmoil that a female character, the representation of his inner self, unsuccessfully attempts to quell. His broken heart is turned to stone.” Chris Do.

It was a twist of fate that brought about Modeselektor and Apparat’s reunion in the spring of 2008. Szary and Bronsert, both proud fathers, were on their way to the "Stadtbad Mitte" (Berlin-Mitte City Pool) with their children for their regular Monday swimming lessons when they ran into Ring, a devout bachelor who happened to be accompanied by several dubious females. After a battering of verbal abuse, the three gentlemen quickly made peace and decided to get back to work on their collaborative album post haste. Thus, Moderat was reformed.

In recording Moderat’s self-titled album, the three men began by renting studio space at the legendary Berlin Hansa Studios (where Bowie recorded Heroes) in order to record the album in analog with the help of the studio’s vintage tube technology and an old EMI console from 1972, restored especially for Moderat. American software designer, Joshua Kit Clayton, was hired to program a superb reverb algorithm s! pecifically for the recording process of this album. This exquisite sound design is one of the reasons why the promotional copies can be listened to only in mono. Finished copies will, of course, be in full stereo.Bpitch

Every year in April Springdance brings the international world of contemporary dance and performance to Utrecht in a two-week festival with shows, performances, installations, and debates, presented at different locations throughout the city. The festival presents work of independent dance artists from the Netherlands as well as abroad, from up-and-coming young talent as well as more established artists.

Springdance presents dance in all its different contexts, inside the theatre as well as site-specific, from performance to installation, in order to extend the definition of what dance is, or could be. The artists at Springdance explore the boundaries of dance, offering a unique perspective on this form of art and of the world around us.

The Disposable Film Festival was created in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices. With people everywhere posting videos online, we felt the time was right to draw attention to the creative potential of this new mode of filmmaking. Far beyond its initial roles for video blogging and documentation, the DFF offers a forum to display how disposable media can be used for creative purposes. The DFF hosts screenings, competitions, and other events to showcase the best work within the disposable genre.

This video includes footage of crystallization experiments in my studio in 2008, filmed through a microscope, and images of Morroccan sand photographed near Marrakesh through a telescope in the late 90ies.

Black Rain is sourced from images collected by the twin satellite, solar mission, STEREO. Here we see the HI (Heliospheric Imager) visual data as it tracks interplanetary space for solar wind and CME's (coronal mass ejections) heading towards Earth. Data courtesy of courtesy of the Heliospheric Imager on the NASA STEREO mission.

Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected all the HI image data to date, revealing the journey of the satellites from their initial orientation, to their current tracing of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Solar wind, CME's, passing planets and comets orbiting the sun can be seen as background stars and the milky way pass by. Semiconductor
