One for the night // Twins: Wicked Game

Coole Wave Version des Chris Isaak Klassikers „Wicked Game“ von TWINS. The Brvtalist is proud to premiere a new video from TWINS. The creative alter ego of Atlanta-based artist Matt Weiner releases his rendition of Chris Isaak’s 1989 track which forgets the epic slide guitar, speeds it up by about 10 bpm, and gives a whole new wave vibe to the 80s classic. The song has been in our heads ever since the first listen and the DIY video is just as mesmerizing.  

Server Room // Short Movie by AB/CD/CD

Server Room ist ein dystopischer Kurzfilm von AB/CD/CD basierend auf Richard Brautigans Gedicht “All watched over by machines of loving grace”, 1967. Dystopia is no longer tomorrow. It is here, now and today. Entropy is real and will never stop. That’s how we understand R. Brautigan’s poem when we read it today. That’s what it means to us. He may have written it in a much more optimistic way in a much more optimistic time… Or was he being sarcastic? Today everything has changed, global warming scares us, the harmony between nature, animals and human beings is broken, we are scared of our place in the ecological environment, we are disorientated. We are hoping technology can solve our problems, but instead it takes us away from reality and no matter what, we can’t resist. In “Server Room”, we develop an enigmatic universe where an AI tries to recreate this balance between mammals and computers, but this attempt only produces distortion and monsters, each attempts to “watch over” goes wrong, we’re not sure if there is a happy end here. This is a first step before another short film which will follow next year, set in a totally different world, but […]
