"Brought to you as a broadcasting service of the Aoineko Online Community Outreach Initiative Resource" (what else?)


To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what Aoineko is. An online art collective? The website of an individual artist, with certain aspirations of being a movement? The bio page lists a significant catalog of accomplishments but reveals nothing about the individual(s) behind the name. No matter. Computer generated video/graphics with the distinct flavor of anime. I recall the longish short movie Fragile Machine raised some noise in the geeky circles I skulk about online, which is probably how I got there originally. The movie's visuals and content appear to owe an artistic debt to seminal manga and animations like Ghost in the Shell. Like most photorealistic speculative art there is something distinctly creepy about many of the images.

But our concern is the downloads area, where a modest but interesting collection of MP3s are available. Some J-Pop ballad territory, though more electronic, vocal and atmospheric than the run of the mill.

Field Chorus


Practice download etiquette: Rather than just clicking on MP3 links, please right click + "save as" (Windows) or control+click and "Download Linked File" (Mac). It will reduce the artists' bandwidth demands!
