Virginia’s Outlands are responsible for a track that’s taken on a life of its own this year. “Com Ocean” is of such resplendence it’s invited tons of artists to offer their own interpretations of the original. A remix EP, featuring contributions from by Sacred Animals, Mirror Kisses, Heat Stroke, TEXTBEAK, DEFA, and Tokyo Hands, is out on the 20th of November on the pair’s bandcamp as a free download.

We’ve got the premiere of the video for Mirror Kisses’ stunning ‘Bad Dream’ remix. Directed by synesthesiae films, it’s a harrowing sequence of patterns and glimpses of reality, like something out of a beautiful nightmare.

Synesthesiae had this to say about the vid:

I was determined to put together something that visually did their remix justice. I was trying to use visuals that touch on themes like the nightmares you could`ve had as a child. things like spontaneous levitation and shifting of environment, or darker themes like people you know, who would never hurt you in real life, hurting and strangling you or killing you…Dreams that you can explain no other way than as just ‘out of place’. A scream you may hear in the micro-second between dreaming and waking in the night and makes you momentarily question:”did I just hear that in my dream, or real life?”

    Doesn’t Tscherkassky technically “steal” others’ footage as well… seems like an irrelevant argument.

  • SYN_FILMS

    Peter Tscherkassky himself is a found footage maker(ALL THE FOOTAGE FOUND IN ‘OUTERSPACE’ IS SAMPLED!), not sure if you got you`re facts straight but I never claimed to own the footage… and neither does Tscherkassky…

    yea we know, the UNMANIPULATED footage is from the entity, but this film took him YEARS to make sitting in a dark room with a little laser pointer making a badass film and you’re gonna take all that hard work, sample the compressed youtube version, and not even credit him? BOGUS AF

    it’d be one thing if you also sampled the entity and made your own effects. i’d still think you’re an unoriginal fuck, but at least you’d do your own fucking work. you can’t sample sampled/manipulated footage and put it on some shit like this. people infer it’s yours and that’s obviously what you are trying to put forward. regardless of your intent, you used someone else’s hard work to make a shitty ass video. you’re the one that has to live with that so whatever. i emailed peter about this. he’s probably too awesome to care, but i hope he makes you take this GAY shit down. FAGGOT.
