Guest Curator : Three videos selected and commented by Small Black :

1 – The Droids – “The Force”

“The Droids were this mostly forgotten french sci-fi disco group from the 70′s.  This mesmerizing live performance of their song (Do You Have) The Force, Pt1. is totally tripped out.”

2 – Ellen Fullman – “TexasTravelTexture”

“Deep Listening Band performing with Ellen Fullman & her Long String Instrument. This video is a wonderful example of the manipulation of acoustics through space.  A great piece to relax and zone out to!”

3 – Theremin – Clara Rockmore play “Habanera” (Ravel)

“Here’s some old footage Clara Rockmore playing the Theremin.  She was a true master! Such pitch and tone control!”

About Small Black :

Small Black’s Website

Small Black on Myspace

“Small Black is Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyner (since expanded to incorporate Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin). The Brooklyn group have succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal and thoroughly modern pop. The songs are equally informed by the rhythmic bounce and stylistic swagger of more left-leaning contemporary radio rap and R’n'B as it is the submerged kaleidoscopic swirl of the early 4AD dream factory.

Starting October 22 Small Black will be driving to your home town as they embark on a month-long U.S. tour that will take them coast to coast. Class Actress will support on all dates, and on specific dates Small Black will also be joined by Delorean, Young Prisms, Lemonade, and Matthew Dear. Now also including a new European Tour.”
