The Mother of all Rube Goldberg Machines!

You’ve probably seen a Rube Goldberg machine in a science museum sometime, and watched with amusement while balls rolled down tracks or balloons inflated, triggering other mechanical events in a complicated chain reaction. But we guarantee you’ve never seen a Rube Goldberg machine quite like this.
When the rock band OK Go, justly famous for its treadmill dancing video, decided to make a new music video for its song “This Too Shall Pass,” the rockers tapped the artsy engineers at Syyn Labs to do something really special. The result was this 4-minute Rube Goldberg machine that plays part of the song, synchronizes with the beat, and involves the band members getting very messy. It runs the length of a two-story warehouse, and the action was filmed in a single shot. With no further ado, we give you: The mother of all Rube Goldberg machines.

I'm Rather Green

So this made me feel all warm and gooey.

POEM IMAGERY.

If I could make a video combining this cleverness, somehow, would be magical, really not sure how, I will commission these guys when I'm making the video for it, still recording it at the moment. 

 SHADOW OF A GHOST

Approaching me in a distressed open way

Crying out on a new day

The cuckoo strangled when it awakes

Cycling a call at 4am 

The Rhythm quickening pulsating on the verge of attack.

Shadows in Sunken Eyes of a Ghost

Sitting in Front of me Bewildering Escape Artists.

Drowning in Your Eyes bedazzling me, 

My mind drifts rudely as the poet speaks eloquently soundtracking the event in metaphors of romance or of seizure.

Walking the line that breaks code

Punctuating every nuance

Reading every-line backwards as it educates your backwards mind.

Welcome Back.

I have been back for a month or so, its been very busy, with Free For Arts Festival and Abandon Normal Devices, I performed at a few things, videos up soon.
One opportunity arose, to play in Forsyths music Shop, so I played Piano for two days, part of Free for Arts Festival.

I wanted to do something I have never done properly before, I can hardly play piano, so I wanted to show vunerability and most of the songs I sang in a quiet upper register, so pretty much the opposite. to my noisy sometimes self.

I also performed at MUTE live, a sound art event, I made a film then improvised along side it, Called Memoirs of Edwyn, I started to feel trapped in a character instead of its purpose of being free to express, an audience would start to consider Edwyn as a completely different person, (and that had its place), but I like recognition sometimes, and being a complete enigma becomes alienating, to an audience not sure who there sideing with, who they should feel for, so the film Memoirs of Edwyn is his signing off, this year is his final year on this planet, he is passing away, and I may do it in a David Bowie killing off Ziggy Stardust fashion.

The Name will Stay but the Character will change, and progression and Development is the way forward.

Its also http://www.andfestival.org.uk/ Abandon Normal Devices Festival, I went to see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkjOpe16TM&feature=related
He Had six volunteers in plastic, being vacume packed, mesmerising to see. Afterwards there was an artist talk  with Lawrence Malstaff the Artist, he combines, technology, with coreography, showing how human work in a way, combining human nature and technology with his work, each piece is an experience.

A few things over the festivals, have been spectacular, others have been a proper pain, watching two ladies scratch on porcelain balloons for 23minutes, is not enjoyable,or interesting, the uncomfortable atmosphere, was the meaning behind the work. Apart from that lull at Mute. Its been a good week, and soon were off to the Liverpool biennial.

Adding photos soon.
