Larytta’s Living Kaleidoscope
Swiss laptop sampler pop duo Larytta call their schizotypal steez “Difficult Fun” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s smart, cheeky, surprisingly radio-ready electronica. You may find yourself simultaneously shaking your booty (with zeal) and your head (in consternation). This video for “Souvenir de Chine”, created by Körner Union with the help of several dozen furry and feathered friends, has certainly left me feeling conflicted (“awww, those poor critters… OOOH, a living kaleidoscope!”) but I can neither stop watching, nor listening:

They’re Swiss, not Swedish.
Completely different countries: one of them is a military neutral country of insignificant size, located on some European mountain top. The other is a military neutral country of insignificant size, located on a completely different European mountain top.

The male and female mallard aren’t scared like the other birds in the video. They stay in the frame the whole time. It was like they were surrounded by decoys. That’s how I feel sometimes….Creepy dogs and ducks todays letter must be D.

Part of me feels like this video is referencing some sort of multi-dimensionality theory.
Or maybe I’m just completely strung out on techno…

Love it! I watched it right before I went to sleep last night and this had a completely magical, mesmerizing effect. I kept wondering if they were throwing birdfeed into the corner to make the birdies fly towards the “center.” I hope that all the little creatures that were in this amazing video were rewarded with lots of cheese and bread for being such stars. :)
