So I discovered this bizarre video on my hard drive...

[ghostsofgiants]

I have no idea where it came from (though I do remember having downloaded it back in the day).

I uploaded it to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7J74z91Dxk
(Warning, the sound is basically all noise, so it can be painful to listen to. Might want to turn the volume on your speakers down a little.)

Anyone else seen this before? It's just TV clips with heavily distorted sound, but it's so oddly compelling. Anyone know where it came from?

1. "Seven days....."

:evilgrin:

9. Hahaha, well played.

[Gold Metal Flake]

2. Four-winged penguins and self-flagellation.

God that takes me back!

[mainegreen]

3. ??? Another dimension?

[Redstone]

4. It indeed IS oddly compelling, in a post-Apocalyptic, acid-flashback sort of way.

I'm going to go watch it again.

5. Why was I so compelled to watch the whole thing?

And dear God, I am NEVER watching that while tripping. I'll end up hiding under a table.

6. Whoever made it lives near San Francisco

All the local station logos are for Bay Area stations.



Reminded me of the scene in "Midnight Cowboy" where Joe Buck is boinking the woman he picked up while she was walking her poodle, and they keep rolling onto the remote control and changing the teevee channel.

7. I think it may be a communication attempt by aliens

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I HAVE been watching a lot of X-Files lately...

Hmmm...

[darkstar]

10. That's damn cool...compelling indeed

I'm going so take some of the audio from that and use it at the end of an ambient set this weekend. I like to set some jarring noise into things every now and again so as not to get to "new age" and I hadn't created any new noisy sound collages in a while.

I like the video, too, and what I take to be it's message.

Thanks a bunch,

:hi:

11. Neat, glad you like it/found a use for it.

[BlueStorm]

12. Very freaky...I like it!!!

I bookmarked it so that I can view it when I'm high on some weed, lol.

Now this one is just plain fucked up:

FORK TELEVISION!!!

13. Kick for weirdness.

14. What a coincidence: my wife discovered a bizarre video on my hard drive...

That conversation really didn't go so well! x(

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Haha, please, continue...

[asthmaticeog]

16. That's excellent.

I'd love an mp3 of the audio track if you have the spare time to do that.

Also, I got a pretty big kick out of how in the "Related" column there are a bunch of Art Of Noise vids. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Sure, I'll do that tomorrow.

I'm not familiar with Art of Noise. Worth checking out?

[asthmaticeog]

19. Early stuff moreso than later stuff.

The vid for "Close to the Edit" is an all-time classic.

[Lautremont]

18. I like the dragon on the toilet and John Waters talking about cholesterol.

on edit: aw hell, I like the whole thing.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Haha, there's something for everyone!

[GirlinContempt]

21. I was totally expecting Tokyo Breakfast.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Haha, that's pretty old school.

[GirlinContempt]

23. No shit
