Featured video: ""Boris Bobby" by Jimmy Ghaphery [HD 1080p]" by H. Paul Moon



At Vimeo, the caption says: NOTES FROM THE PROGRAM: "Boris Bobby" is the premiere of a new composition by Jimmy Ghaphery for 21 electroacoustic improvisors. Based on the 1972 World Chess Championship between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer, the score revolves around the end of game chessboards from each of the 21 games. Strategy, restraint, concentration, and tension are promised, with a nod toward unsustainable Cold War ideology. Performed at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Washington, D.C. as part of the Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music, September 29, 2012. Special thanks to Jeff Surak (curator and festival director).

Featured video: "Shuttle Endeavour: A piece of space history flies by in slow motion" by Vincent Laforet



At Vimeo, the caption says: NASA's Endeavour Shuttle lands at Los Angeles International airport on its final flight atop a 747. This footage was shot with a RED Epic, at 5K resolution, at 96 frames per second with a Canon 800mm 5.6 lens. If you like this video - or would like to see us shoot with 3 camera bodies next time - consider using Vimeo's new "Tip Jar" function by clicking on the title of this video and looking for the following icon at the bottom right of the video. Thanks! NASA's Shuttle fleet was retired last year after 30 years of flight. Endeavour is the second of three remaining shuttles to head to its retirement home - in this case the the California Science Center. Endeavour, the youngest shuttle, replaced Challenger which tragically blew up during liftoff in 1986. During 25 missions, Endeavour spent 299 days in space and orbited the earth nearly 4,700 times, racking up 123 million miles. It was a beautiful day - hampered by some pretty heavy duty heat waves as you'll see, given that the shuttle landed at 1 p.m. Special thanks to Jon Carr for his help on the shoot, and for the edit. Oh and... HOLY HEAT WAVES!
