An Exquisite Corpse.

Cartoon Network commissioned a crew of animators from around the world to each create ten seconds worth animation with their networks characters for their new summer ident - all in the form of an animated exquisite corpse. Each team/animator was given 10 seconds of music, 4 colours and tons of Cartoon Network characters to work with and the separate sequences were then combined to create a single 60-second spot.

The artists & studios that contributed were: ALEX GREG, IMPRACTIST, CRCR, AWESOME INC, RUBBER HOUSE, & AKA represented director EAMONN O'NEILL.

'AND IN THE ENDLESS PAUSE THERE CAME THE SOUND OF BEES'

 Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson draws the title of his latest album from the original VARMINTS book written by Helen Ward and illustrated by Marc Craste and is the music he composed for the a 24-minute film version, Directed by Marc Craste at STUDIO AKA.

PITCHFORK REVIEW: 'As a recording, the album displays a few sides of Jóhannsson we haven't heard before. Among his albums to date, it's one of the most musically active, and befitting its origin, also the most soundtrack-y, which means something for a guy working in a genre frequently referred to as cinematic. We first got to know the Icelandic composer through two brilliant minimal electro-orchestral albums, Englabörn and Virðulegu forsetar, both of which displayed a knack for unifying the whole work by exploring and re-exploring the same themes in different contexts. And in the Endless Pause does the same, returning to a series of motifs and using the orchestration to imply different meanings each time. Though it does incorporate some of Jóhannsson's trademark electronic treatments, this is largely an orchestral and choral work, given a vividly atmospheric, almost spectral performance by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.'
