Just stumbeld upon this tutorial @ the fabulous instructables site. It shows a cheap way to build your own bullet-time rig. The project was developed by Graffiti Research Lab and director Dan the Man for his latest music video featuring rappers Styles P, AZ and the Large Professor.

Check out the tutorial:

video (to see the video in a better quality visit dantheman.tv)

was attacked by the Austrian FPÖ right wing party, to be a project, that only wants to show the nice side of live, from the slum, that they are censoring material which contains violence, and as an not named expert says, "this is like in a communist dictatorship". now also the City of Vienna, and the Austrian Development Agency, were accused that they finance such a "again communist notion" propagandist project and such FAKE ART! (text taken from email of slum-tv)

watch the video of the discussion at city council, listen to the definition of the project by dr. andreas mailath-pokorny and the ridiculous questions of mag. harald stefan (FPÖ), his definition of the word "censorship" and his opinion about the austrian government supporting a project with "no!!!" direct reference to austria and vienna.  (although it is the "following project" to an exhibition in nairobi last year, called economy class and an austrian-kenian project organized by austrian and kenian artists.) make yourself a picture and keep it in mind for the next elections. (sorry, the video is in german only, but slum-tv is workin on a translation for all you english speaking people out there).

You don't know where to hide nowadays, dark acres are rising all over the world and show no signs of stopping yet. They're in your neighbors backyard, out on the streets, maybe even in your own closet wreaking havok and grabbing hold of what's left of your soul.... That's what pushed me to do this somewhat unordinary mixtape, exploring new grounds in my own musical universe: a deep down dark and dirty slow mix of all kinds of experimental hiphop crossing over to other genres.

So, without any further delay, here's the mix:

Dark Acres Side A

Dark Acres Side B

Tracklist

This mix as well as all the other SOR mixtapes can be found in our updated mixtape section.

Thanks to WIN for his magnificent cover style and to CLRCDD for designing the cover.

P.S. Don't forget to show up TODAY (24.01.08) @ Volkstheater Rote Bar, Vienna, 22:00, to see some Kompact live action....

peace
