Hyped: The Week In Links 4/27

On the blog we debuted Squarepusher’s performance and interview at our San Francisco event and gave you a nice mix of his old material to complement it. We spoke with Animal Collective about bringing their immersive Guggenheim Museum installation into your mind space, we looked at lord of the disco Giorgio Moroder as our Original Creator, and we saw light painting enter the Matrix. In this week’s LAYERS we broke down Lushlife’s “Magnolia”, we found out how Data Garden are making polyphonic music from plants, got the lowdown on Of Montreal’s new trippy video, and found out what a 24 hour panorama image of earth looks like.

And, in the realm of 0s and 1s…
