In the animated music video for “Isekai (Accidental Spirals),” a hypothetical date goes so wrong that one of its participants would rather disengage from reality and fall into an alternate space-time altogether. Featuring music by Singaporean musician Claude Glass and animation by Sadiq Mansor, the piece draws influence from such modern animation as Rick and Morty and Midnight Gospel to entrance viewers in a dizzying, colorful swirl of plants, snacks, geometries, and unusual characters.⠀ ⠀ In the following Q&A interview, Mansor and Isa Ong of Claude Glass speak to their longstanding friendship and a collaboration so natural that the first draft of the music video was also the last.⠀ ⠀ READ: http://bit.ly/redefinespirals⠀ ⠀ @_claudeglass_/ @249.png #SadiqMansor #IsaOng #ClaudeGlass @syndicatesg #Animation #RickAndMorty #SingporeanMusic #Singapore #MidnightGospel #Animated #MusicVideo #MusicVideos #MusicJournalism #REDEFINEmagazine #Isekai #SpaceTime #Pychedelic #Trippy #AnimatedMusicVideo #MV #Animations

Re-imagining the Life of Trans Jazz Musician Billy Tipton: No Ordinary Man Film Review by Alison J. Smith: http://bit.ly/redefinetipton⠀ ⠀ No Ordinary Man, a documentary directed by Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt, returns again and again to a black-and-white photo of a man wearing a fedora, a cigarette perched between his lips. That dapper figure smirking at the camera is Billy Tipton, a ’40s-era jazz musician and bandleader who was revealed as trans after his death. No Ordinary Man weaves together the insights of scholars, theorists, and trans men to map the contours of Tipton’s remarkable life as a Southern jazz star.⠀ ⠀ At the same time, it deconstructs the damaging and frequently dehumanizing news coverage of his death. The film’s innovative and effective framing device is a series of cathartic auditions for the role of Billy Tipton by trans men who hail him as their “ancestor.” Ultimately, No Ordinary Man is an electrifying film because of the stakes of its mission: to preserve and contextualize trans history, first by recasting the mythos of a man who was, as his friend put it, “the gentleman’s gentleman.”⠀ ⠀ @aislingchinyee @chasejoynt @threedollarbillcinema @translationsfilmfestival #NoOrdinaryManFilm #SeattleFilm #SeattleFilms #SeattleFilmmaker #NWFF #NWFilmForum #NWFilms #NWFilmmakers #NWFilmmaker #SeattleFilmmakers #NWFilm #TransFilm #TransFilms #LGBTQFilm #LGBTQFilms
"... Nico and I thrive on chaos and the unknown — letting the chips fall where they may. My process with music very much involves me letting the mood, surrounding vibrations and sounds produced at that moment take over. Once I felt like I had something that felt 'finished,' I sent it on over to Nico, knowing they would absorb my transmission and do their thing." - Avola⠀ ⠀ READ THE INTERVIEW:⠀ http://bit.ly/redefineselfhelp ⠀ /// Over the course of sixteen eye-popping minutes, the music video for “Self Help,” a recently released track by Portland electronic musician Avola, takes viewers on a tripped out textural journey through a 3D-animated multiverse.

Fruitbowl, Seattle filmmaker David Quantic’s hybrid documentary and podcast series, is dedicated to “an oral history of queer sex.” ⠀ READ: http://bit.ly/redefinefruitbowl⠀ /// In the following Q&A, Quantic talks through why he started a series he never expected to, why it is still important to tell queer stories, and how much more there is still to learn and share.⠀ ⠀ “We were raised expected to be straight, and I think that requires a certain amount of personal strength to say, no: that is not my narrative. This is my narrative; this is how I’m going to live my life. And every queer person has that story in common with each other. It might not be the same story; they might not have gotten to the end in the same way that we did, but we have each had that moment in our life where it’s like: you know what? This path is going to be different for me.” - David Quantic, Founder of Fruitbowl⠀ ⠀ BONUS: Fruitbowl has episodes screening now during Translations Transgender Film Festival via @threedollarbillcinema :)⠀ ⠀ /// PICTURED: Jaelynn shares stories from her life growing up queer in Mississippi and her evolution as a trans woman. Her stories include her misadventures in the sex trade and valuable advice for anyone who wants to get frisky with black women: “Don’t Touch The Hair.” ⠀ @fruitbowlpodcast #SeattleFilm #SeattleFilms #SeattleFilmmaker #NWFF #NWFilmForum #NWFilms #NWFilmmakers #NWFilmmaker #SeattleFilmmakers #NWFilm #PacificNWFilms #FilmEducation #QueerSex #LGBT

#Repost @vanishingseattle #FBF: 30 years ago on April 30th, the Crocodile Café & Live Bait Lounge was opened! The Croc was established at 2nd Ave & Blanchard at the site of the old 1980s Greek restaurant/punk venue Athens Café (which was empty for about 10 years prior) by Stephanie Dorgan. The bill for #CrocodileCafe’s 1st show was Sub Pop band Love Battery and the Posies (under the name P.O.T. - “Posies On Tour”). The 3-room club (restaurant, bar, & performance space) was integral in nurturing the exploding local music scene + hosting touring artists. Acts that played #TheCroc included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Sleater-Kinney, Tad, Gas Huffer, Sunny Day Real Estate, Talib Kweli, Modest Mouse, Green Day, X, The Coup, Cheap Trick, Yoko Ono, Beck, Beastie Boys & many more. They also hosted special events, legendary secret shows, spoken word, fundraisers, craft fairs etc. The Croc was also in the films “Singles” and “Georgia.” On December 15, 2007, the #CrocodileCafe closed suddenly after a final show, due to financial troubles, which shocked the local music scene. On March 21, 2009 the Crocodile reopened under new management and a new re-model. In November 2020, it was announced that The Crocodile would close down & move, as current co-owners Marcus Charles & Adam Wakeling’s attempts to buy the 1924 Film Row building, and then to renew their lease, were denied by landlord Mercer Island-based Second & Blanchard LLC. Luckily #TheCrocodile will stay in #Belltown: moving to the building on 1st Ave that most recently housed El Gaucho steakhouse, Pampas Room & Big Picture theatre (which is fitting, as the building used to be the hall of Sailors Union of the Pacific (1954-1996), where @thePosies, Bikini Kill, Radiohead, @maryloulord & more played.) Happy 30th, Crocodile! Share your Crocodile memories! (I still miss that damn pre-renovation view-blocking pillar and graffiti-covered bathroom). 📷: Crocodile, Lance Mercer, Chris Brown, Renee Chun, Josh Trujillo/P-I #crocodileforever #flashbackfriday #seattlemusic #Seattleculture #seattlehistory #seattlelandmark #seattlecharacter #seattlesoul #displacement #seattle #oldseattle #vanishingseattle
