As you all know I absolutely love Black Moth Super Rainbow. Finding unique music these days is hard to do. There is so much generic re hashed garbage floating around these days it is hard to find something that stands out. BMSR is one of the few bands that I actually support and buy their albums. The latest album is amazing and if you are a fan you will really psyched like I am. The new album eating us is AMAZING!!!! Now they come at us with a interactive video for 'Dark Bubbles'. Here are some details. The new record drops 5/26..
"Using a webcam, viewers can shift the position of the heavenly bodies by slowly moving their own heads or hands left and right in front of the camera's lens. Moving the cursor will have the same effect if users choose that option.
Black Moth Super Rainbow's sound lends itself towards this electronic mysticism that we felt we could illustrate by creating some kind of other-worldly interactive experience. What initially peaked our interest were these tests from 2006 (using Flash) where you wave your hand in front of a web-cam and a red dot on the screen follows your movements ... It's essentially the same technology used in video installations where insane programs like MAX/MSP Jitter are required. However in these tests it was being done using just Flash and a webcam (so anyone with a newer mac laptop could potentially be involved). With the help of some talented friends we were able to take this technology a step further by creating an actual environment using time lapse photography, live action and some animation elements that you are physically controlling by moving your body! So if all goes according to plan this will be a technologically mystical music video app you can touch."
