Please meet Fotoplastikon

2 English

To be honest, I don't know how to start. It's just that I want to share with you awesome music. Some kind of climatic masterstroke, yet not wide known.

Please meet Fotoplastikon. Polish Tangerine Dream mixed with Kraftwerk, flavored with italo disco and a bit of Jean Michel Jarre. That's just for the beginning. I've first found it sometime between 2006 and 2010, and the first contact was "Technological Landscape".

You have to watch the video along with listening to the music. It is really submerged in industrial. It's hard to say something about it. You have to listen to its smoothness, feel it in your subconsciousness, feel the anxiety it triggers. I would even say - feeling of loneliness and isolation. I can only imagine, that I would feel like that, being on a solo mission to the unknown - just a moment after the rocket launched. "Ground Control To Major Tom" it is. I really really appreciate this piece of work.

So we are on a mission right now...

"Professor Terbovens' Mission". As it was before - the music video is really well made also here. What is more - it is from my field, I even personally used the "Optima" typewriter. I feel it more cheery, even after a little anxious beginning. Again, it is like starting a journey, but that kind of journey, which will be adventurous, but you have the confidence, that at the end of the day you will be safe and sound.

We've arrived to the "Inventors Island".

Just listen to the naive joy of it. It's ingenious, but hard to explain because of a reference to an old polish movie, which references a lot of our culture and so on... Just for the record - the iron you can briefly see in the video - imagine that in the movie it actually shoots with noodles...

 

And after that, there's nothing else than doom:

I like the way how it subtly changes the atmosphere. At the first glance it is very monotonous, but no - it varies from the initial suprise, anxiety, to combat and then to the grande finale. Everything works for its eldritch effect - the music, the editing, filters and effects.

There is more of it on Fotoplastikon YouTube channel - I've just showed what I appreciate most.
