Amusing Armageddon Animation
I’m not a big ol’ techno freak, but Gangpol & Mit just may suck me into the scene with the way they blend animation and music to create a mutant vibe that’s been described as the soundtrack to day care on another planet. Two guys from Bordeaux, France, Sylvain Quément (music) and Guillaume Castagné (graphic design), output a klutzy kool music/video universe that is childlike and threatening at the same time. My brain hurts in a good way!
Hitspaper interviewed them (and the awkward translation from Japanese just makes it even better!)
For more stimulation, transport yourself to their website. Guillaume’s art is showcased at his own site, here. They also have a MySpace page.
Guillame contributes to a more toned-down (no knives!) project for kids called Carton Park with Norman Bambi & Mami Chan of Juicy Panic. See a somewhat Devo-esque performance, complete with alterna-scout uniforms and limboing children, here.
