Those of you who were at Somewhere There in Toronto last winter may remember seeing this video while Tuna Mind Melt played live. But if you weren’t there (or if you were and you’d like to see it again), here is the first of three videos!!!

Colt Jenders did a stunning job with the images. I only wish my tiny screen was bigger. Maybe it’s time for a projector. The music will sound familiar. It was posted here a few days ago.

A Synopsis? Why of course!

——————————-

Behold this interpretation of a Japanese primordial test-tube journey into the oracular life of fish large and small.  In homage to the psychedelic era, Auto-Aquaramatic Hallucinogenome explores the mesmerizing, somnambular, and sometimes pseudo-volcanic underwater life at the Osaka Aquarium. Mainly edited in-camera footage processed using computer-generated filters is married to an improvised off-the-floor Tuna Mind Melt soundtrack. Here, image and sound seem uncannily synchronized despite the chance determined union of sonic and visual elements.

Happy viewing.

Directions to Somewhere There :

As of August 2010, Somewhere There has a new home at 227 Sterling Ave, unit 112. This address is somewhat misleading however. In reality, the space can be found at the corner of Ruttan Street and Merchant Lane, as seen in the map below.

You might get to Somewhere There…

…from Dundas West Station by walking east along Bloor and turning right down Ruttan Street.
…from Lansdowne Station by walking west along Bloor and turning left down Ruttan Street.

Either way, you will find Somewhere There just to your left where Ruttan turns in to Merchant Lane.
