Here, the desktop of Mac OS X replaces music video software. I found this video at TUAW.
A very cool video for the Mac-user geek. Very creative use of the mac. The video was done by Dennis Liu.
I’m not sure how he recorded the screenshots. But if you want to do something similar, I recommend a program for Mac OS X called Snapz, which does video screenshots.
This video for Bjork’s “Wanderlust” is so awesome. Here, on the New York Times websites, she and the directing team, Encyclopedia Pictura, talk about the video:

Here’s the text that came with the video:”I was interested in the motion of foreground (scratched window) midground (passing girders) and background (Skyline) and how that might relate to individual sounds in a piece of music. The music is from Autechre.”

From Video Description:
“Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer.
The next innovation in the highly acclaimed line of Korg DJ tools has arrived!
The KAOSSILATOR is a new pocket sized instrument that packs Korg’s world renowned synth sound along with innovative performance features into an ultra-compact unit. Anyone can instantly play musical phrases by simply tapping or sliding their finger across the KAOSSILATOR’s touch pad — no previous skills required! The KAOSSILATOR is a portable, travel friendly device that runs on batteries, so you can have fun creating music anywhere your life takes you, with seemingly endless possibilities.”
Also see this album of music called the Yellow Album made entirely with the Kaossilator.
Etch-A-Sketch Clock
Cool technology. Someone has programmed an etch-a-sketch to retell the time every minute.
Also appears to be a sketching application hack for the iPhone. Looks great. I’ve had a lot of fun with the etch-a-sketch in my ESL classes:
Don’t know anything about the band, nor the video director, who is Whitey McConnaughy — but what I like is the video concept. I like this portable stage that they’ve made for the band. Skip ahead to the end of the video and check out this portable stage set up in all kinds of empty areas of Portland, late at night. Wish I had a set-up like that, but I don’t know where I’d put it.
I googled the video and found this article which says more about the making of it.
Bjork caused some controversy at her recent Shanghai concert, ending her set with a call of “Tibet, Tibet” at the end of the song “Declare Independence.” The video directed by Michel Gondry is embedded below. Here’s the article from CNN.
