Here’s a new video by Russian electronic artist Pixelord aka Alexey Devyanin for his track “Anorak.” He also did the visuals for the video — a CGI landscapes disintegrating into a transparency screen, then populated by an array of zooms on various stylized animated images.

William Basinski played his recent work Cascade at ISSUE Project Room in Brooklyn last night. The sold out performance of the evening-long work was accompanied by visuals — a field of bright blue blurs, dulling, darkening, slowly bursting in small flares.

Also notable: “Bitcoin Jingle,” an earnest acoustic number that extols […]
“Listen In“ is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging.

Play the World, a mind-boggling new project by openFrameworks creator Zach Lieberman, turns hundreds of global internet radio stations into a playable musical keyboard.

From high-tech spectrographs to old-fashioned sheet music, there are plenty of ways to visually encode sound, but none quite like PhonoPaper. The app, free on iOS and Android, analyzes anything you can record on your phone, then saves it as an image filled with black-and-white blobs. Print that image out, and you — or anyone […]
Today we got a new video from Robyn and Röyksopp’s upcoming mini-LP collaboration Do It Again.
