Kenneth James Gibson is a man of many personas. Keeping up with him can be a time consuming, yet rewarding venture into sound. As soon as you think you know him and can grasp what’s going on, he puts on yet another mask and becomes something else. Always a surprise and never a let down, he gives us what we want but don’t expect.

Ken’s first recordings were as the guitarist, singer, part time keyboardist and producer of the 90's Austin indie noise-pop band Furry Things. He slowly gre... More >>

																	The Mysterious H
The Mysterious H
Austin, TX

The Mysterious H has been writing 8-bit music since the summer of 2000 when in a feverish dream he felt his personal bit-depth reduce. Some speculate it was because he was bitten by a radioactive Intellivision, others blame his strict diet of diodes and transistors, and yet others still speculate that it was caused by a laboratory accident caused when a game boy was dropped into a bubbling vat of chemicals. Since that fateful day, the H has been playing in shows and battles in Austin, Houston, ... More >>

Self-taught itinerant animator James Sumner has stunned internets worldwide with his debut film THE GETTY ADDRESS. Expanding on album of the same name by Dirty Projectors, THE GETTY ADDRESS chronicles the wanderings of a mythologized Pre-Eagles Don Henley. As an archetypal wanderer-colonizer figure, Henley voyages through the ultra-American wilderness, encountering kung-fu cranes, Neolithic kangaroos, and horrifying Aztec spider gods.

Daidasso - Nijiiro No Arch
stop-motion animation

This is promotional video for the band "Arrows". A photograph has hardly been cut out and placed on the background when it starts walking -- Through the familiar but slightly strange surroundings of a city, a park, and a forest. This animation was produced by a complex method of mixing analog and digital processing as the man's photo and various objects are actually placed on the eight-meter background and filmed by scrolling gradually, frame by frame.

JETLAG unit was formed by a group of friends taking the same course at a Tokyo university in 1999. Though its members change from time to time, it presently consists of Yoshimi Kawai, Kyu Shibayama, Ai Tanaka, Naoki Nonaka, Fumi Maruo, and Tomomi Motose.

JETLAG is well-regarded outside Japan, receiving many of its commissions via the Internet from various countries around the world. As well as movies, it specialises in illustration, web design, VJing and graphic design. The grou... More >>
