Hamilton Morris "Nzambi"

Hamilton Morris gets high with Haitian Zombies.

This six-part documentary began airing this week on VBS. Part 1 aired yesterday and Part 2 of Nzambi debuts today.

In 1982, Harvard ethnobotanist Wade Davis traveled to Port-Au-Prince to investigate the ethno-biological base of the Haitian zombie. Davis left the island convinced that zombies were not fictional creations, but in fact real monsters that roamed the rural villages of Haiti. Inspired by Davis’ work, Hamilton traveled to the Haitian capital last year to conduct his own zombie investigation under the guidance of a man who survived fourteen bullets to the face.

In this short film Hamilton explores a countryside rife with voodoo culture, meeting sorcerers and collecting and self-applying samples of poisons associated with the local zombies.

Enjoy!

AMIINA "Puzzle"

Icelandic bliss...

Icelandic-cloud-string-experimental quartet, Amiina, released their second album, Puzzles, this week. Amiina merges avant-garde arrangements of violin, cello, ambient electronic noise, and blissful harmonies to create a sound that is both soothing and bold. The band spends a good part of their time touring with and backing up the other Icelandic power import Sigur Ros. With Jonsi on a North American tour and Sigur Ros on an indefinite hiatus, the group had a chance to follow up their 2007 debut, Kurr.

Far From Moscow

UCLA based blog // website dedicating to Western Europe music.

A colleague of mine, David MacFayden, e-mailed me to let me know about a website Far From Moscow that recently took flight. The site covers a wide variety of music from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic. Most of these foreign bands only have distribution over seas, so this is the best way to find/buy/promote these +1200 bands. The video-archive section is vast and impressive, with promo videos from bands you have never heard of.

Dive into something you can not understand. Music is universal.
