Dear Scene: Do your best to not make this terrible.

By , on May 22nd, 2009

Here’s the deal: Boing Boing has come into possession of some wicked footage of an anonymous Atari Computer Camp excursion that has everything you could ever want from grainy stock video: namely, yellowed and over-saturated money shots of retro-tech, and a bevy of over-eager and still-innocent pre-teens banging out BASIC to make crossword crosses out of the words Van Halen no joke and gawping at the awesome limitless power and future of computers.

Garth and Ginny’s “Pixel Films” are about as high resolution as you’re likely to get from a 50×50 pixel square. The latest animation, coming by way of the Brighton Fringe Festival, follows up their first Pixel Film below which screened at the famed Pictoplasma festival last year.

In reality it just gives me an excuse to post the above video.

Producer Paul Levering made special note of (I was happy to hear) one Dallas act in particular that I think fits both criteria: Paul Slocum and Lauren Gray’s Tree Wave, who list their MySpace ‘sounds like’s as: My Bloody Valentine / Stereolab / Lali Puna / M83 and Postal Service, and I can’t say it much better. Above is their video for their best track, Sleep.

computermusic4kidsconsoleWhat is it? Verbiesen explains:

ComputerMusic4Kidz is an interactive electronic music installation for kids, inviting them to explore the history and sound of classic gaming consoles…

The installation mainly focuses on the sounds that can be produced with classic gameconsoles and enables children to create music using classic gameconsole soundsamples. By using an intuitive interface children can navigate through a visual library that contains a selection of gameconsoles produced between 1972 and 1990. By selecting a gameconsole they can produce music with samples that originate from the chosen gameconsole.
