KONY420 - Deciphered is a video mashup with its own personal chopped and screwed soundtrack.
The purpose of the video is to put my own exaggerated twist on the art form that is propaganda video, while targeting the strange series of events that has surrounded the KONY2012 campaign. I couldn’t resist bringing my admiration for the Reptilian conspiracy into the mix as well.
We may have survived 4/20 relatively unharmed, but, to our relief, Invisible Children have announced a new date to look forward to. November 3rd. Yes, this is when things are really going to start happening!
To be continued!

More info on the soundtrack.
Located off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, the Canary Islands annually reenact the coming of the Three Wise Men – just like the rest of the true Spaniards do. This year, however, instead of the traditional parade, the event was restricted to the confines of an eerie local sports stadium where the display of one surreal feat after the other resulted in a show fit for kings.
The footage is my own.
For the soundtrack I made a chopped & screwed remix of NIKE7UP’s July 2011 mixtape.

This is the first video of a series soon to be released. The idea behind the project is to spark emotion in the generation that grew up playing the legendary, lo-fi games of the 80’s and early 90’s. The new, over-dramatized interpretation of the soundscapes distort everything you held dear about these games. You’ll find yourself thinking, “Is nothing holy?” and “How can something so wrong feel so good?”.
Ei Aikuisia / No Adults is a story about a girl who struggles with the pains of no longer belonging in the endlessly colorful and playful world of children.
