Sansula

I love electronic music of all levels, especially drum and bass (makes my ears pop in a good way), and you have to thank the Europeans for that. For Dominik Eulberg's video, Sansula, directed by Dirk Rauscher of Bruno Tait (VJ Team). A sansula is a type of instrument from kalimba made from flattened metal on wooden box. Eulberg must have used the instrument as the main composition of his song, which evokes a xylophone-y, ethereal like sound. I call it 'ethereal' because it feels... pure? You can ignore me now.

Before we begin, this is a kalimba:


And this is a sansula:



Kinda looks like en eggslice, of which I used to play as a harp. After enjoying the salad.

I absolutely love the simplicity of this video. It was simply a projection on to the trees, combining nature and technology together. Obviously Rauscher prepared the colourful animation beforehand, but it wasn't the technical or visual detail from it that was mesmerizing, but how light fell on to each leaves, stem, branches and flowers. GORGEOUS.



I believe I've just got a great idea for an outdoor party.
