Independence Day

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

We here at IQ Beats have powered down our overworked G5′s and MacPro’s to have ourselves a FUTAB kind of day while the rest of the idjits in Seattle get drunk, crash their boats, practically beg for DUI’s and strain their necks from gawking at the truly spectacular fireworks display on Lake Union. It’s finally summer and we’re glad to be out of the Jingle Sweatshop for a day to crack a few beers and fire up the grill… A day for simply chilling out.

However, our friends down the street at 100.7 The Wolf have been hard at work (and hard drinkin’) to put together this little ode to Fourth of July in our beloved United State of America.

Music For One Apartment

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

This has been floating around the web for quite some time now, but we here at Team IQ just had to share it in case you missed it. It’s called “Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers” and features a gang in a Volvo staking out a flat that break into a when the occupants leave to walk their dog. Instead of stealing things, the gang go from room to room making amazing percussive music with found objects: first in the kitchen, then the bedroom, the bathroom and the salon. Cabinet doors, pot lids, light switches, a pill despenser, a lamp, books, and a vacuum cleaner hose all add to the suite in four movements. The drumemrs keep the first three rooms tidy, but waht will the flat’s occupants make of the hurrican that hits the living room?

The piece is produced by KOSTR-FILM and written and directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjarne Nilsson.
