I Love Kutiman

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I often get excited about new things everyday exclaiming their life changing properties but Kutiman is something different. DJ Shadow’s album Entroducing… shattered all my ill-conceived notions of art and music and clear my mind for the notion of cutting and pasting sound collages, Kutiman takes that to the next logical step by mining YouTube videos for melodies and rhythms and then stitching them together to form hilarious Funk breakdowns, grinding Drum and Bass anthems, or haunting ballads.

My favorite track (video?) by far is I’m New as the vocalists are sublime…

Someday is a close second as Sarah Amstutz has a wonderful voice.

My home directory as art.

While doing a little spring cleaning on the laptop I stumbled on a neat utility in Disk Usage Analyzer that will make an image out of a specified directory.  Pretty wild how the directory structure can translate into an eye pleasing piece of art.
