Telephoneme: Even if your Alphabet Conspiracy succeeds and you destroy the books, machines have no minds of their own. They are easily confused by different voices and different accents. It is the brain of man that tells them what to do.
On the surface, this is a video, composed of
smooth motion graphics by those makers of
4D softcore sweater porn at
MK12, along with audio from the 1959
Alphabet Conspiracy film, which is part of
The Bell Laboratory Science Series. Dig further, and you enter the world of sonic
hauntology, where the edited audio resembles
the spectral sounds of
Robert Johnson (wiki/discogs),
Little Axe (w/d),
Tricky (w/d),
Japan (w/d),
Mordant Music (official site),
Burial (w/d) and
The Advisory Council (w/d).
Returning to the world of lights, you can view 130 clips from
MK12 on Vimeo, including
adverts-
a-
plenty,
movie intros and
end titles, and
some music
videos , both
end products and
behind the scenes. Plus:
video game intros (
including all eight Beatles Rock Band chapter intros), and
odd clips for
the sake of
craft.
