Auto-tune remix art continues to evolve. Here we have a sincere and quite enjoyable musical tribute to Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. The creator is John Boswell. (Thanks to Adam Church for the tip.)

Darren Solomon composed a few minutes of beautful noise and visuals, then published it as a lake of youtube videos. Any or all videos can be started or stopped at any time without worry. Play with those volume sliders to make your own personal melancholy soundtrack.

I’ve seen a lot of remix art that uses autotune recently, but this one is perhaps the most epic. Thanks to Alex Tarr for calling my attention to it. Created by DJ Steve Porter.

The song is “Det snurrar i min skalle” by “Familjen.” This video won a Grammy for best Music Video in Sweden.

If you can’t tell from the story, this film is quite literally an excuse to show you a bunch of odd, beautiful graphics. CSA Images needed showcasing and Run Wrake (author of Rabbit) had animation powers. If all advertising were like this, I’d probably watch tv.

In addition to their great Lasagna Cat and Infinite Solutions series, Fatal Farm has made a collection of videos in which they take intro music (and sometimes footage) from famous television intros and remix them with very entertaining results. Embedded above is the intro for Duck Tales. My other favorites include Alf, Doogie Howser, The Golden Girls, and Knight Rider.

Apparently this was nominated for an Oscar last year, but I just found out about it. The audio is from 1969, when 14-year-old Jerry Levitan found John Lennon in his hotel room and convinced him to record an interview. The digital animation, done in 2007, is kinetic and iconographic like mk12’s. But I liked it for its art style, which is very simple and personal. (via Create Digital Motion)
