Sorry for been silent, I’ve been watching (and hearing) the links you sent. I am automatically watching what you post!
Definitely like ASMs, AMVs and the cartoons.
Youtube is having a lot of good stuff. Recently has been announced a show which was kickstarted after the pilot had success.
Here is the trailer of the series:
The great short film in which was based had a great trailer:
Well it’s weekend and therefore partytime I want to introduce to you one of my favorite DJs: DJ S3rl
I think he has a unique style. Some of his tracks are harder, some softer, but they’re always kinda uplifting.
“The Touhou Project (東方Project Tōhō Purojekuto?, lit. Eastern Project), also known as Toho Project or Project Shrine Maiden, is a Japanese dōjin game series focused on bullet hell shooters made by the one-man developer Team Shanghai Alice, whose sole member, known as ZUN, is responsible for all the graphics, music, and programming for the most part. The series was inducted into the Guinness World Records in October 2010 for being the “most prolific fan-made shooter series”.”
Nearly all characters in the games are female (and kind of bad). There is a massive fanbase around touhou drawings (of course). check out deviantart for example.
Part of the community are artists who arrange the soundtracks of the touhou games. And because it’s a big community, there are techno, electronic, schranz, hardcore, hardstyle, metal, orchestral remixes of touhou samples and many more.
Here is a rare gem, a makina arrange:
Very popular are the Satori Maiden themes (the whole video is 2 hours long and shows a lot of arranges. But when you klick it, it will start at 1:12:32, because there is a song i like a lot)
And here is a piano cover of satori maiden:
Another piano cover. I’m not sure which one, I can’t read japanese
Well, ok. There is still more Bad Apple, also born of the touhou community.
And here is a cover of it with traditional japanese instruments… just beautiful
I hate it, when music has a intriguing video. How should I say that? I takes away my own imagination, if that makes sense to you.
But if you want something more artistic, look at this:
The genre of the music is Kuduro. A style that is unique and it comes from angola.
But I was really fascinated of what the video shows. It was made on a concert in angola. You can see how the people live, especially the poor of them. And the contrast of poor and rich. And the mentality of them all.
@Radivis, as far as I could dive into (and there is much to see yet) there is one first important fact from my first interpretation.
What is presented here is internationalized culture, with mostly a focus on english language content. We do have exceptions, but even when I tried to “discretely” give hints to see if that could change (a few videos of my own country, directly asking for content from another countries, etc.), the direction kept the same.
The obvious most direct answer as to why this content is so international may be for the audience of the forum, futurists and like minded people are common here. Another less obvious but very powerful answer is that we are seeing more and more an internationalization of the content thanks to internet.
It will be good to see how this develops. Just for the content itself this is so good to see.
By the way, here is the series I was talking a few posts back:
Do you know what nightcore is? maybe you encountered it already while surfing on youtube for example.
Basically nightcore is a speed edit of (mostly pop-)songs with extra pitched up voices.
DjS3rl made an nightcore themed song. It is a good example, because it was made to get “nightcored”
Here is the original:
And here is the nightcore version of it:
So, if you listen to music in the future, you can search for a nightcore version of it, just for fun. Maybe it is even better than the original
I’m watching an anime series called “Tokyo Ghoul”. Just think about any vampire story, and now replace vampires with ghouls who don’t desire human blood, but human flesh. Great, doesn’t sound too different or fascinating, but the anime series is surprisingly well made. And the intro of the first season is damn awesome!
Here’s a link to the first episode. I wonder how long it survives on YouTube
And here’s the full version of the opening song of the first season:
