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.
