Few things let me hope for the future of mankind as much as progress in music. Music is such an abstract thing that we continually seem to be at the very end of what’s possible but always find more. The human brain seems, in its very construction, to always be capable of musical progress. So here’s what your kids will be looking back on, gently brushing aside its naivety as they reach forward to find music in the science of their time.

This is Amon Tobin’s remix of Noisa’s Machine Gun and there’s a weird synchronicity in that I first heard it while looking for animations of the tsunami triggered by the recent 8.8 earthquake in Chile. Amon Tobin’s work has always had a distinct animal/mineral/marine/tectonic aspect to it – its as if you can hear the plates shifting and the waves building in the track’s progress.

The video is actually from a tsunami set off by a similar earthquake off the coast of Chile in 1960 – for an animation of the 2010 tsunami click here.
