By Cyriak... yet not traumatizing.

That's fantastic. Another Bonobo vid to check out - Eyesdown rmx
(first comment is gold - Played this song at school yesterday until it got heckled off, someone else came up and straight away started playing Drake. What is wrong with this world?)

How fortuitous! I was just listening to Black Sands on vinyl ... on YouTube.
GREAT news that there's a new Bonobo album coming out.
I wonder if Cyriak was influenced by the Church of the Subgenius, or if he is just a fan of making surreal videos out of 1950s era public information-type videos.

It's Cyriak, so my mind was suitably boggled. I was waiting for the spider cats and hellish robots. We got the robots, which is great. Cyriak is bloody good.
I like Bonobo too, so it's a great combination.

I can't say I understand everything, but I get the feeling that it's similar to what we see in the final work; he starts by playing with small elements, anything that will make a nice loop, then starts playing with variations in that, and in nesting that loop within something larger; repeat until it gets more and more complex.

I adore both Bonobo and Cyriak, so I like this video pretty good too.

You can download a high quality MP3 of the full track by registering your email at BonoboMusic.com, or you can stream the full song on Soundcloud. The video version is shorter than the album version.

I think I could handle Cyriak before he started using live footage for this shit.
Now, I believe I'll go back to shivering and praying, shivering and praying.

Cyriak discusses his method in very broad strokes in this interview.

Coincidentally, just a few days ago I had seen for the first time some stuff by Zbigniew Rybczyński. And Cyriak mentions him in the interview as an influence, which makes sense.
