Labuat











I stumbled across this site Soytuaire.labuat.com one day and found it very fascinating. On the first page there is beautiful cursive Spanish writing:

“Soy tu aire es una cancion llena de muchos y pocos. de orquestas y de bilas de voz. de vendades y mentiras a medias. y como tiene arribas y abajos queriamos darte algo para que pudieses moverte con la cancion.

Un pencel

porque soy tu aire aqui se pinta en el aire

Muevete por donde te pida la cancoin

acabaras haciendo tu propia obra que pordra si quieres ver en video”


Which I poorly translated to this:

“I am your air is a full song of many and few. Of orchestras and hoaxes of voice. of truths and lies by halves and as it has you arrive and down wanted give something so that you could move with the song.

Pencil

because I am your air is painted here in the air

Move by where it requests the song to you. You would end up making your own work that can see some if you want to see in video”

Every word on this site is in Spanish, so I translated the main information but some things did not make sense. It was hard to read the cursive writing so I tried to figure out what the words meant. The mouse has Spanish words on it as well that changes in seconds.

There is a percentage at the bottom for the preparing page. At the top there is a tap that says “Pintndo una cancion” which means “Painting a song.” After it loads the next page has a play button. As soon as you hit the button the pointer becomes part of a song that begins and can be controlled by the movement of the mouse. The brush strokes change with the music and movements of the mouse creates an amazing visual piece.

The song is very beautiful and makes it easy to play with this over and over again. Every time is different and I notice things I did not the first time. With splashed of the ink or paint like substance that appear and fill the screen with shapes that quickly pass by. My favorite is when little fish follow the curser and when the song gets more intense the brush stroke gets thicker and more expressive. This site shows a great sense of imagination and creativity that is a fresh breathe to see online.

I believe this site is for a Spanish recording artist named Labuat. Not exactly sure but that’s what I understand so far. I think it is a very clever idea for this artist to show her music that is interacting. It’s a way to listen to her music and play with the beat and create your own music video. I think it is recorded apparently but I have not figured that part out yet. This site is an expressive experience that is memorable and beautifully created.
