"Hear, Earth, Heart" is a meditative short film from ridiculously talented Chinese visual artist Yi Zhou that features an exclusive piece by Air called "The Dream of Yi". You can watch and listen to most of it at Zhou's site www.yi-yo.net. The film premiered in Paris last year, and now it's showing as part of Art Basel, the modern art extravaganza running in Basel, Switzerland from June 10-14. According to Air's MySpace, the Basel showing features "Hear, Earth, Heart" projected onto a marble plate!

Another Zhou piece, "My Heart Laid Bare"-- starring a severely heartbroken Charlotte Gainsbourg and featuring music by Chester French-- will also play (on a plate) at Basel. You can watch that one at the artist's site as well. RIYL Björk music videos circa Homogenic. VIA PITCHFORK

would anyone on here happen to know the name of the song for the 'Paradise' video by Yi Zhou? the credits say Ryuichi Sakamoto but don't specify the name of the track. normally i could google the lyrics but as i don't know any japanese this is proving rather difficult...

Hey, the name of the song is "ue wo muite arukou" and actually the music is from Kyu Sakamoto. (Thanks Tokiko !)

or "Sukiyaki'" as its known in the west Think Sakamoto died in a plane crash some years ago
