Thanks to my old music-making friend, Alan, for showing me this amazing work by an Israeli musician called Kutiman. Created painstakingly by sampling various YouTube videos, his music grooves big time. The visuals are a testament to the countless enthusiastic music fans who have reached out across the globe via the internet.
The way it’s delivered is quite a departure, too. The web site *is* the release – an exciting evolution of the MySpace idea (Kutiman’s own MySpace page is a great example).
Kutiman’s fourth track, Babylon Band, reminded me of the very cool “hyperactive editing” of Norwegian animator Lasse Gjertsen…
