lofticri3s:

This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

This is the result. And it makes me laugh every single time.

It tries to be so dramatic but it just falls flat. Love it.

Acoustic Levitation

At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have been experimenting with sound waves and pharmaceutical solutions, levitating soluble drops between two speakers facing each other. While their research has produced some visually fascinating results, it has also led to the discovery of a far more effective method for creating amorphous drugs, which happen to be the more desirable of two forms that pharmaceutical drugs can take.Watch Video Here.

I made a mix for the Downtown Festival premiered by Complex today featuring Antwon, Earl Sweatshirt, Kilo Kish, Trash Talk, and more. See me rip it w/ Black Hippy at the Downtown Festival: NYC edition on May 10!

Enjoy the mix at http://www.complex.com/music/2013/05/premiere-fat-tonys-downtown-music-festival-mixtape and read up on why I picked each song.

Downtown Festival’s Fat Tony gives us a breakdown of his favorite festival-inspired tracks.

1. Antwon - Sittin in Hell
[Prod. by Big Baby Gandhi]
Antwon is the homie. He’s getting real freaky on this one. This past weekend I played San Marcos, a lil college town in Texas. I was chillin poolside with a couple homegirls when their friend walked up on us. The friend said she drunk dialed a dude last night and got super provocative. She passed out before she could go to his place so she was on her way to see him now, just stopped to say hello to us. 10 minutes later, we get a call that the same dude ended up having a heart attack. I bet whatever she said to that man was as nasty as Antwon’s lyrics. Big Baby Gandhi is a very ill producer too. Beat reminds me of Big Baby’s really good first mixtape.

2. Ab-Soul - Illuminate (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
[Prod by. Skhye Hutch]
Ab-Soul is so cool. He’s a real rapper’s rapper. Reminds me of everything I loved about California underground rap back in high school, keeping a CD player on me at all times to jam artists like Murs and Souls of Mischief. I’m loving his album Control System. I can listen to the whole thing all the way through almost daily. This song samples my favorite Madonna song ever, “Live to Tell”. Jealous that I didn’t rap on a beat that sampled it first. Shit.

3. The Clash - Straight to Hell
Last year on tour with Cadence Weapon, we drove from some city to some other city late at night in total darkness listening to this song. I’ll never forget that. Intensely peaceful.

4. Earl Sweatshirt - Chum
My favorite Earl song of all I’ve heard yet. Answers everything the fans and onlookers was wondering while still rhyming off the chain. Beats with pretty pianos like this make ya boy :’) and fall deep into the sofa.

5. Fat Tony - Hood Party (ft. Kool A.D. and Despot)
[Prod. by Tom Cruz]
In the summer of 2011, I went to New York to link up with Tom Cruz and begin making a new album for my buddy’s label. I was supposed to create the album in a month on a measly budget of $1,000. Not much money at all but I was eager as always to make more music and dive wide eyed into the music business. Well, that $1,000 never came. Tom Cruz ended up getting robbed and lost his apartment. I ended up getting kicked out of where I was staying for the month. We ended up losing what little money we both had left when putting a deposit down on a new place which ended up being nothing but a scam. We were both left assed out and ended up staying at our good friend Jason’s apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey. We occupied two couches and set up a makeshift studio desk using cardboard boxes and styrofoam and began making music. Our time was cut short when I got the awful news that my grandmother was very sick. After a week that illness became her death sentence. I couldn’t deal with my grandmother, whom pretty much raised me my entire life, dying while I was away from home. I rushed back to Houston as fast I could but unfortunately didn’t make it back in time to see her alive. This is one of the few songs that ended up surviving those sessions at Jason’s house.

6. Big Moe & Big Pokey (DJ Screw) - Southside We Roll on Choppaz
Legendary Houston underground song by one of the most beloved artists to ever come out of my neighborhood Third Ward, the late Big Moe. It took me years to realize that this song is a reinterpretation of the Biggie Smalls tribute track by The Lox, “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa”. Can’t believe they turned a memorial song into an ode for cars hahaha. R.I.P. Big Moe and Notorious B.I.G. Two awesome obese men that have always inspired me.

7. Kilo Kish - Goldmine
[Prod. by Star Slinger]
I’ve got a note for Kilo Kish. All she’s gotta do is circle Yes or No. ^_- xoxo

8. SZA - Country
[Prod. by Brandun Deshay]
I hear this and run to the bar to close my tab. Good music to kiss to in the dark corners of a club.

9. Fat Tony & Tom Cruz - Denim Guinness Boys
[Prod. by Tom Cruz]
Know your history.

10. Trash Talk - Explode
Strikes you with a fury from the very beginning, then serenades you with a lullaby of a bridge. Perf.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people.

The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”
