We love films and music made with sounds of nature. Although this may not be entirely natural, the concept is a great one. Reminds us of the days when we would annoy roommates by playing Animusic every morning for about a month. Maybe you’ll do something like that to your friends with this short film. […]

Just a Moment
It seems that we’re increasingly obsessed with capturing the moment, preserving the moment, recording the moment… Here’s an idea though. Could we simply pause to relish the moment? The opening shots of the video tell us that most of the visual activity happened in 4.2 seconds. That truly is amazing. We think it’s also okay to be amazed […]
Sound of the Age
The coalescence of events from events from early November of 2016 will stand in history as a pivotal moment. We’re reminded of the depiction of 1968 in the mini-series “From Earth to the Moon” One outcome is that the number of otherwise civil and courteous people who regularly invoke the F-bomb will turn out to have reached […]
Sometimes a Small Voice
In a world of big production values, loud vitriolic debates, and self-indulgent superstars – can something like this make a difference? We’re still drying our eyes over here. (And then the song loops and our Kleenex supply dwindles further.) Maati Baani’s channel has more. We recommend it and encourage you to subscribe and give a big […]
Cool Music
Two things that should be guaranteed to cross political and cultural boundaries, music and nature, come together in this moving piece. We’re inspired by both the raw beauty of the setting, and the calm mastery of the performance. Hope you’ll like it too. Everyone has a story to tell, and we all go about telling […]
Memoria Musica
Music can take many places in our lives. It can recreate a heartbreak, inspire us to joy or to glory, or it can memorialize a loving relationship that is now complete. Joe DeRose can often be seen playing in Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas. Keep an eye out for your next chance to see […]
Deux ex Musica
We’ve long been delighted and intrigued by the fanciful music machines contrived for the Animusic series. Even decades after the premiere of that video series, the virtual devices that appeared to make music with their gears and pulleys continues to entertain us. Now there’s a “living breathing” example of such a machine. Take a look! […]
Force of Nature
We try to focus on indiefilm and indiemusic here, but sometimes, we just see something delicious that we have to share. Other times, it’s like this music video. We loved it the first time we saw it, and we still love watching it. Isn’t that how music videos are supposed to be? We’re kind of […]
Travel in Time
In the 1970s, no one really knew what would happen to Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. They were just hard working and talented musicians in a time and place that was amenable to their dreams. This rare video contains a performance that looks like just about any other ordinary backyard barbeque somewhere in Texas. For […]
Simple Wish List
Filmmaker Maurice Molyneaux and The Kinsey Sicks have been working together for quite some time now. In the past, we’ve featured other collaborations of theirs. They put this piece together for the holidays (see what we did there?) and although they debated about whether the release date was painfully close to the Charleston mass shootings, […]
