A short section of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Helicopter String Quartet, performed by four musicians and four helicopter pilots. Another performance.
 
The New York Times offers some insight into the execution of the piece:
  
“Sometimes he was playing with his eyes closed,” reported the pilot who flew with Roham de Saram, the cellist. “When I saw him playing very fast, I tried to turn and fly faster to influence him.” Another pilot revealed that he had tried “sharp turns and loops but could not disturb” his passenger, Mr. Arditti.

Now *this* is a mashup.  Girl Talk has spent years ruining the good name of the mashup by merely placing obvious rap lyrics on top of snippits of well-known pop songs.  IMHO, a proper mashup finds a way for two or more pieces of art to intertwine and create something completley new, while simultaneously increasing your understanding and appreciation of the source material.  Recontextualization is required.  Rerharmonizaiton is the icing on the cake.
 
On another level, it simply boils down the the fact that a proper mashup has the potential to replace the original as “that song you can’t get out of your head”.

cEvin Key and Genesis P-Orridge - Beauty Is The Enemy. Unofficial video by XDel.
  
The machine does not sustain life, only the immitation of life.
 
This video was intened to communicate an old mystic proverb, where in it states that in order to be Whole, one must bring the sum of your parts into accord, as opposed to seprate, working against each other, dependant upon external influences for support and momentary comfort.
 
As long as we are in this state of un-wholeness and denial, we will be nothing more than the sum of the machine, merely imitating life rather than living it. Incessantly struggling in our own self manifested Hell that we mistake for Heaven.
 
We must face that which we choose to forget, otherwise we may succeed in our failure.
 
Consciousness is key. Consciousness of that which IS Life, that which endows You with the power to breathe.

Cassini Approaches Saturn
 
What would it look like to approach Saturn in a spaceship? One doesn’t have to just imagine — the Cassini spacecraft did just this in 2004, recording thousands of images along the way, and thousands more since entering orbit. Recently, some of these images have been digitally tweaked, cropped, and compiled into the above inspiring video which is part of a larger developing IMAX movie project named Outside In. In the last sequence, Saturn looms increasingly large on approach as cloudy Titan swoops below. With Saturn whirling around in the background, Cassini is next depicted flying over Mimas, with large Herschel Crater clearly visible. Saturn’s majestic rings then take over the show as Cassini crosses Saturn’s thin ring plane. Dark shadows of the ring appear on Saturn itself. Finally, the enigmatic ice-geyser moon Enceladus appears in the distance and then is approached just as the video clip ends.
