I know – a little bit too late, but still interesting.
Musican/composer Mark Mothersbaugh (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, New York I Love You, Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist) discusses the musical scores of each of this years nominated films.
Those crazy cats at OK Go are tugging at our heartstrings yet again, with the release of a brand new video for the song This Too Shall Pass. It takes the Rube Goldberg machine concept to another level completely.

Jim Pavloff recreates two lassic tracks by prodigy in ableton live – inspiring. Keep in mind that Liam Howlett wasn’t able to use Ableton live back in the days…
Diego Stocco, a great sound designer & solist, worked with Hans Zimmer on Guy Ritchie’s new movie “Sherlock Holmes”. In this video they are talking about his unique instrument – the experibass:
From Diegos Youtube Chanel:
I had the fantastic opportunity to play my Experibass on Hans Zimmer’s score for “Sherlock Holmes”, the new Guy Ritchie’s film. I’m one of the featured soloists.
Hans really loved the pounding tonal grooves and aggressive depth of the basses I was playing on the Experibass and asked me to go full scale with all those techniques I was showing in the original video. I didn’t stop there though, I also experimented with new techniques that were coming up to my mind while playing on his tracks.
A big thanks goes to my friends Daniel Holter and Russell Emanuel for passing my video and make the connection happens.
Working with Hans Zimmer and his team has been great and I’d like to thank them for this amazing experience. I’ve been a fan of his music for a long time and I felt honored when he called me to play on the score of Sherlock Holmes.

What is Burial’s music ‘about’? What does it ‘do’? Come to think of it, what is his music? What does it mean? Of course, all of this is up to the listener’s imagination, but for a while now there’s been a certain degree of consensus on the answers to these questions: Burial ‘mourns the death of rave’, his music is (to paraphrase a handful of commentators) a ‘plaintive echo from a bygone era of collective energy’, ‘a melancholy, ghostly memory of the faded promise of rave, drenched in weathering and mired in urban decay’.
Interesting post about Burial and his music at Rouge’s Foam Blog.
The stage debut of Shimon, the robotic marimba player. Also, the world first human-robot rendition of Duke Jordan’s “Jordu”, for human piano and robot marimba.
Fascinating and scary at the same time…
