The majesty of this science fiction short is beyond comprehension

This amazing piece of science fiction, surprisingly enough, has it’s roots in true science. In particular, the Rosetta Comet Mission. On 6 August 2014, the Rosetta mission achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first mission to rendezvous with a comet. During the coming months, Rosetta will orbit the comet, deploy the Philae lander (in

An open letter to J.J. Abrams about making Star Wars VII

There’s nothing coming out of the London based Star Wars camp, as of late, that has me even remotely interested in how this will all turn out. No one really knows how or what, J.J. Abrams, will do with this beloved franchise. All we have to go on are his previous films, which aren’t bad,

Jon Hopkins remix of Purity Ring’s “Amenamy”, is why God created remixes

London based producer Jon Hopkins was clearly inspired by this track! Jon, whose worked with the likes of Brian Eno and Coldplay and has even dabbled in soundtracks, composing the 2010 sci fi film MONSTERS, is really just coming into his own…in my opinion. He isn’t a household name yet, but he’s on the rise

Melt Yourself Down – Self-Titled Review

When dance music comes to mind, punk rock and jazz generally isn’t the first to make the list of ideas. The UK band, Melt Yourself Down, does just that. Their full-length self-titled debut off the leaf label stands out among the recent releases of music. It’s hard to pin them down to one genre, but

BOARDS OF CANADA could be releasing an album or resetting the Swan station

Boards of Canada is one of my all time favorite electronica bands. When I was first introduced to their music in New York, I was hard-wired into their groove. It was like all my daydreams had a soundtrack now and I’ve been a die hard fan ever since, but one thing about the group is

Truant / Rough Sleep show Burial’s diversity

What can I say, we’ve been waiting patiently since 2006 for a followup to the amazing album, Unture. It can be hard to nail down Burial‘s sound into a single genre. Although it is easy to tell his 2-step, garage, and ambient influences, his sound is very unique. What his early 2012 release, Kindred, did was only show

Guillermo Del Toro is bringing Pan’s Labyrinth to the stage

Caught this bit of news via Bloody-disgusting.com In what could potentially go horribly wrong or amazingly right, Guillermo Del Toro plans to produce along side English film/theater producer Robert Fox and film producer Gary Ungar, a musical based on a stage version of Pan’s Labyrinth written by Guillermo and Jeremy Ungar. But wait, it get’s

Science fiction short Tears of Steel will cinematically blow your mind!

In what acts more like a cgi animators demo reel than a film Tears Of Steel is a dysotopian story of regret and redemption at least I think that’s what the director was trying to get across. Before I continue I want to say that this film is a text book case of animators who

Theo Jansen’s kinetic sculptures take on a new life in this amazing short

Not to long ago I had the pleasure of watching Theo Jansen’s TED talk about these kinetic animals of his. He offered us a look into what a man made, self sustaining and environmentally friendly creature looks like. By blending his love for engineering, science fiction and animals he’s been able to wow us with

HANS ZIMMER RECORDS “AURORA” IN RESPONSE TO THE COLORADO TRAGEDY

From Cristian Bale to Christopher Nolan to Hans Zimmer, the amount of love they’ve shown for the victims of that senseless massacre has been unprecedented and now this amazing news comes from the Zimmer camp about a composition Hans has written for the victims entitled Aurora. “Aurora” is dedicated to those who lost their lives
