Flight404 ( or Things Found On Sleepless Evenings)

Found on some restless evening, wandering through Vimeo, looking for interesting things to watch while sleep remained elusive, Flight404's homemade video for the song "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" off of Radiohead's "In Rainbows" dazzled with it's pulsing, water submerged orb, seemingly on the brink of supernova, while a school of eel-like fish swim around, enraptured, as if their long lost god had returned to them. Created with Processing, an open-sourced programming language and environment that seeks to place powerful, non-proprietary and graphically capable development tools into the hands of the not so graphically capable, it's a visceral interpretation of Thom Yorke's lyrical plea for escape.

Also of note, Flight404's take on "Sons of Light and Darkness" by Helios, an artist I'll get into at a later time.
