Alice, a song and video composed from the Disney movie's audiobits.

Remixed into being by 19-year old Nick Bertke, who is based in Australia. Link to video on YT, found on Kottke, with this link to audio download. What a sweet little unicorn chaser of a video this is. (Thanks, Susannah Breslin!)

” Very sel(dom) alright. We love the devil, but the trouble.”

That’s what I got :)
Trippy stuff.

If you follow the link to download the mp3, he’s got three other Alice tracks on there. I’d strongly recommend Lost; Unbirthday and Bread & Butterflies are okay, too.

Amazing! I can’t tell if all the audio sampled or if some of it is original.

So adorable! Thank you, Xeni.

Wow. The riff was totally hypnotic. I almost turned it off but as I was reaching to click “pause” found myself just absolutely absorbed and rode it out. So glad I did.

Taku-san!

That was fantastic! I don’t even like that sort of music and that was just fantastic- I think I’ve heard part or all of it before but the video was great.

Can anyone make out the lyrics?

I could recommend it to patients who are having trouble sleeping. Almost worked for me! Great job.

Every time I try, Mister Armstrong, I just get lost in the pattern again.

Wow. Kudos. Please mirror everywhere before The Mouse tried to bury it. Makes me wanna see the flick again.

Srsly, Disney: This is _exactly_ the type of thing you want kids doing with your content.

This is awesome… but seriously, you need to listen to it NOW. I give it less than a day before someone starts to fling DMCA take downs at this. You don’t fuck with your mouse eared overlords and live to tell the tale.

Personally, I find the situation maddening. This should be full protected under fair use. Hell, it probably IS covered under fair use. Of course, that will not matter a lick once Disney flings a few take downs at it.

I find it utterly absurd that I can patent a useful technology and hold that patent for 14, but this post is copyrighted automatically, with no deed, no record, and no title… until long after I am dead.

I personally always liked the idea of making copyright have to be registered (like normal property is), and then requiring people to pay a single penny in order to maintain the copyright. The next year, they have to pay 2 pennies. The year after that, 4, 8, 16, and so on. After seven years, you are still paying just over 2 bucks. If you want to hold a copyright until the end of frigging time, well, it better be economically worthwhile.

Download it and we can make a dozen mirrors.

Part of it is a line from one of the songs, “I always give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it”. The rest I can’t make out.

If you like that hypnotic sample based kind of electronica you should check out The Field.

This is my fave track from the last album: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ktx9HorB0EM

BTW, Rindan is right if you know what happened to Neo-Mickey. I was among the lucky people who got it before the takedown.

There is a long way to love that you must travel.

I’m convinced it is:

“Where is there always love (something) trouble?”

Glad I downloaded the mp3, ’cause the vid went bye-bye. =(

Wow – wonderfully hypnotic!

Awesome. This reminds me of watching the old ‘DTV’ music videos on the Disney Channel back in the mid-Eighties.

That’s some amazing editing. It makes Alice In Wonderland look like an acid-fueled rave… Oh. Wait.

tarot..not for divination…that would be illegal…just inspiration instead.

i believe it is saying “where is there always love where there isn’t trouble,” which is the only thing i could get from it that actually made sense. and it makes a good deal of sense, so i am going with it.

this kid has a future in this stuff, i am thinking. rock on!

wow, this is trippy… i like it though.

“there is… they’ll always… love… the devil”

dont get me wrong, i love the tune, but what the hell?
Johnny Coelacanth

I’ve just listened to this song five times in a row, after watching the video twice. It’s frickin’ hypnotic. The vid is still up on YouTube, and some of the comments are 10 months old. Either Disney hasn’t noticed yet, or they actually recognize… nah,they haven’t noticed yet.
