Four Letter Words from Rob Seward on Vimeo.

Four Letter Words is an arrangement of fluorescent light fixtures as an alphabet controlled by algorithms. Consisting of four units, each one is capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet.

The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.

In other words… WOW.

Ethereal Icelandic sounds consume this debut release from Sigur Rós’s singer Jón Þór Birgisson and Alex Somers. Riceboy Sleeps was released on July 20, 2009 and features acoustic instrumental music and the collaboration of the string quartet Amiina and the Kópavogsdætur Choir.

If you are looking for some excellent soothing music for your work day or while relaxing, this is without a doubt it. This album is by far the most refreshing thing I have heard in quite some time. You can purchase the full release in several different formats on the Jónsi and Alex website – including 12″ vinyl, cd, special edition box set and more - or you can instantly download at iTunes. If you are more of a try-before-you-buy kind of person, they have provided a free streaming version of the entire album, available on the music section of their website.

Also on their website you will many other things including recipes, news, visual art galleries and more. So be sure to visit jonsiandalex.com.

Here is the video for one of the singles off the album, “All The Big Trees”

amazing rendition of radiohead’s “nude” by james houston. this is james’ final project for a visual communication class at the school of art in glasgow, scotland. this remix uses no traditional instruments, though… he used old computer hardware to create all the sounds in this version: sinclair zx spectrum – guitars (rhythm & lead), epson lx-81 dot matrix printer – drums, hp scanjet 3c – bass guitar, hard drive array – act as a collection of bad speakers – vocals & fx.

nothing short of amazing here. take some time to put on headphones and give this a try. i think you’ll like it!!

jason snyder is from new jersey. he makes kick ass art.
