Fullscreen it, please.
A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.

Florent Ghys – President Obama The Union
Florent Ghys has a new recording out and has video in promotion of the release. The Union is in a State address by President Obama.
Bio from http://www.florentghys.com/
Florent Ghys is a French composer of acoustic music and upright bass player.
He employs hair dryers, blinkers, weather reports, vacuum cleaners, numbers, and enjoys controlling random elements.
He obtained degrees in ethno-musicology at Bordeaux University (Masters 03) and Bordeaux Conservatoire (Gold Medals 04), before going on to study the classical double bass with Thierry Barbé in Paris (Gold Medal 05). He participated in several composition master classes in the United States (Bang On A Can 06) and in Italy (Sentieri Selvaggi 06)…
As a composer he works in a style situated between contemporary and pop music, creating tonal masses with or without pulsation. It has often been said to resemble American minimalist music.

Hermeto Pascoal: Aura Sound of Yves Montand and Música da Lagoa
An amazing display of imitative improvisation and compositional techniques. Hermeto Pascoal (born June 22, 1936) is a Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist greatly admired for his abilities at orchestration and improvisation as well as a record producer.I was previously unaware of him until I found this studio recording of him capturing what he calls the Aura Sound of French actor Yves Montand.
The following video is a recording of Música da Lagoa, in which the musicians burble water and play flutes while immersed in a lagoon.
