Japanese singer KOM_I is carving out quite the musical space in the electronic group Suiyoubi no Campanella, but she takes things to another level on her experimental solo track “BAKU”….
…A balloon animal landscape full of animated psychedelic organisms pulses with organic life—although it’s all CGI—in the avant-garde music video from filmmaker Sojiro Kamatani for KOM_I, the singer of Japanese electronic group Suiyoubi no Campanella, “BAKU.” The song, produced by Matthewdavid, is treated to eye-popping colors. As opposed to similar CG work, like the ancient multicellular lifeforms seen in Max Cooper’s “Seed” music video, the computer animation created by Tatsuki Saito strives for physical depths and textures while remaining unapologetically virtual. It’s sort of a more anarchic spiritual cousin to Quentin Deronzier’s music video depicting an epic trek through a day-glo animated world.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
