This is one of those little projects you wish you could just play with the second you’ve seen it. Greek Artist Petros Vrellis coded an interactive light and sound show into Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night — that you can control with your fingers. With a swipe of a single digit (or hand) you can pull the particles of the artists paint daubs to redirect the swirling mass of night sky in any direction, making music as you do so. After the break we’ve got video that you really, really should watch — and afterward start begging the creator to get this onto people’s iPads as soon as he can manage it.

Red Tails (2012) HD Movie Trailer – Lucasfilm Official Trailer

Click link below trailer for George Lucas’ comments

I received this important email from a friend. I believe ‘Red Tails’ is a film worth watching.

All, thanks to a friend who won tickets, I was fortunate to see an advanced viewing of Red Tails. As you may know, it’s George Lucas’ version of the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, > 20 years in the making, and has a predominantly Black cast, certainly all the main actors are Black.

As it goes, when the movie was finally ready for production, no production company would take it, so George Lucas had to write a check. After production completed, no distribution company would take it. So, George Lucas had to write another check. The advanced viewing sponsored by Wells Fargo and the Museum for Black History Diaspora (not sure of the exact name).

The movie is intriguing and has edge-of-your-seat action. It’s well done, and certainly worth the look.

I’m urging all of you to see this movie, and tell others about it as well. Anything we can do to ensure large numbers of viewers in the first few days of release, scheduled for 20 Jan 2012, will make a statement to the production and distribution companies that were not interested in this film for whatever reasons, that they made a miscalculation.

If each of you tells as many people about this as you can, and attempts to take 4 or 5 people with you to see the film, that will be like a geometric progression, and could potentially push the numbers off the chart.

And . . . George can get his money back!

I get some great emails. Here is another great one from an email friend.

Below is a link to one of the best pieces of sound engineering work I have ever seen & heard. It is a composite audio/video of a song whereby additional tracks were laid in by different singers and musicians from different places around the world. The finished product is tremendous!
The song itself is that classic standard “Stand By Me”, originally released in 1955, by The Staple Singers and released again in 1961 by the Drifters. This composite version is a real toe tapper.
So turn up the speaker volume

A friend sent me the article below:

At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, “A lot of people don’t realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano.

Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant. And it has a haunting, haunting plaintive quality to it that reaches past arrogance
and past pride. It’s just one of the most amazing melodies in all of human history.” After sharing the noteworthy history of the song, Mr. Phipps delivers a stirring performance that brings the audience to its feet!

10 Lucian Freud Paintings That Will Make You Fear Flesh

Sigmund Freud may have mastered the dark corners of the psyche, but his grandson Lucian certainly called dibs on all the shadowy secrets embedded in human flesh. The German artist has become one of the most iconic painters of the 20th century, captivating the world with his grotesque portrayals of the animal side of human existence.

Freud moved to London in 1931, serving in the British Navy during World War II before committing himself to a life of art. After befriending Francis Bacon, a painter with an equally unsettling aesthetic, Freud honed the style for which he is now known, an intimate gaze that pierces the skin, attracting and repelling the viewer at once.

Whether painting a newborn baby, a normally-flawless Kate Moss or his own visage, Freud spared no gruesome detail in his pigment drenched portraits. While most renderings of humans minimize imperfections, Freud embellished every last wrinkle, spot and stain. His striking works don’t only reflect their subjects but reach into the collective bizarre and often repulsive experience of occupying human flesh.
