j. viewz converts veggies and fruits into "Teardrop"

Warning: This is furiously awesome.

Brooklyn producer/artist Jonathan Dagan, better known as j. viewz, recently posted a video (shot by Roy Rochlin) of him converting sounds generated from his Abelton software, through a Novation Sl MkII, connected to fruits and vegetables into the Massive Attack classic "Teardrop."

There's not much of an overwhelming complexity here, although the explanation makes it sound impossible. Really, he's opening up the currents (he explains early in the footage) through the Sl MkII and wiring them next to the food. Really, he could use anything, but the fruits and vegetables are just for fun.

What results is one of the most-fun loving and invigorating things you'll see today. Do yourself a favor and watch.

Wednesday Bears: Massive Attack and Burial - Paradise Circus

This doesn't happen too often.

Yesterday, we got our first listen to Massive Attack and Burial's 12" collaboration B-Side "Paradise Circus," a 12-minute ethereal urban harmonic glossed over through sheering vocals and distant rain. As if all Burial's takes didn't somewhat sound like that already.

The Four Walls 12" is available in very limited quantity (1,000 copies), which you can order here.
