And here it is: another remix of Vodena, straight from the USA! Its Authors? The three piece unit known as Wunderbugg.
So, WUNDERBUGG.. who are they? Right because of the explosive emergence of the instrumental phenomenon known under that name, Seattle is catching the eye of the pop world again, nearly two decades after it set grunge on the world music map. Moved by the retro vibe of the pianist Whidden Flores (psychedelic of the 60’s, progressivity of the 70’s, new wawe of the 80’s), Wunderbugg is known for Whidden’s MIDI sequences and other music effects. There are also many music cooperations, including the twin sisters Audra Page and Elke Hautala. The Wunderbugg trio drew the greatest attention by bringing dynamic perspective of the live rock band into DJ performing.

The sound of Seattle trio WUNDERBUGG follows The Chemical Brothers, Infected Mushroom, Tori Amos and The Crystal Method. The electronic trail leads them even further than these exciting and unpredictable ways of improvisation.
The fact that the album Transgradulate had 400 000 clicks and downloads tells a lot about the Wunderbugg phenomenon (Seattle Alternative Charts, June - November 2009). Trio collaborates in the implementation of the new Clubjumpers EP (Grammy Award winner recently nominated for the best D.J. in the U.S. on IMA Awards 2010). The EP release is expected in September 2010. Wunderbugg also cooperated with famous Mark Fisher, on the implementation of EP Syai, with the production of multi-Grammy award winning producer Otto Geoff. EP is released these days. Previously, in September 2008, the XLR8R magazine put Wunderbugg on the 7th place on the top-ten list. The single 3Molecules Away appeared on Lip Service Website soundtrack.
The Wunderbugg trio moved across the ocean to dive into Vodena (Water) along with Putokazi. It’s impossible not to follow them.

U sklopu "Ljeta na Gradini" cure iz PUTOKAZA odrzale su ekskluzivan glazbeno-scenski nastup pod nazivom "NOC PUNA MJESECA". Na koncertu su izvele glazbeni materijal s njihova posljednjeg albuma "Mjesec", kao i uspjesnice s prethodnih albuma "Androida" i "Nova Zemlja". Svi prisutni mogli su premijerno vidjeti i video uradak za Grabber & Tomec remix pjesme "Vodena" koji se ovih dana zavrtio u radijskom eteru. Video potpisuje Kreativni odjel iz Rijeke, a snimke su iz arhive Petra Trinajstica iz 1970-ih godina. Vise u gornjem videu..

 
For their birthday, Putokazi are moving the boundaries of musical experience again, this time using the newest technology. We were only listeners once, then we enjoyed television video clips, and now, in 21st century, we become the communicators - those who participate in the action, those who actively contribute to the new multimedia experience - whenever we want!

"Sumska" is the first Croatian interactive music video, and its premiere will be on the Putokazi web page http://www.putokazi.hr/hyperviz.php. Our desire is to enable a richer and more personalized experience for people, to immerge them into the magical world of Putokazi where the past, present and future stories blend. Each viewer decides how he will take part in this unique story, dream or meditative experience. Most of them will solve the riddle necessary for the story's continuation - or simply get to know themselves better through emerging the peaceful virtual world, getting to know the limits of their inner, emotional universe, the universe the album "Mjesec" is exactly about.

"Sumska" won't be seen on television because its content overgrows the one-way media that television provides. "Sumska" must be a personal experience. By means of this, Putokazi are entering an artistic era on the next level - all available interactive audio-visual stories, artistic expressions in virtual worlds, probably precursors of futuristic holodecks found in SF films.

Although the action of this video depends on the viewer, it exists and is set in the distant future. The admirers of the Putokazi videography will recognize the continuation of a story about a girl named Ivana seen in the previous videos "Snena plese" and "Play, Rew, F Fwd".

The originality of "Sumska" is the use of Hyperviz, a technology of the local authors - Rijeka's multimedia production department "Kreativni odjel". Hyperviz was added into the "Knjiga najboljih" as one of the best innovations in Croatia last year. E-novation is an acknowledgment for innovations in high technology organized by the publishers Vidi and also Ruder Boskovic Institute.

To fully enjoy "Sumska", it is necessary to use one of the recommended web browsers for Windows and Mac computers with free Unity 3D plug-in. For the best experience, computers with video cards with at least 265MB video memory, as well as high-quality headphones or speakers are recommended.

 
"Dokumentarac" o izradi video spota "Helleya, planet Nova Zemlja" iz 2000.-te, sniman VHS kamerom.

..2000-ta je i snima se video broj za pjesmu "Helleya, planet Nova Zemlja". Ozujak je i jako, jako hladno. Alen Petric, clan PUTOKAZA na snimanje donosi svoju kameru i paralelno snima, dakako najvise svoje supatnike - "nogometase" ili kako sam kaze "revijalnu plesnu grupu". Filmic je star 10 godina, nudimo vam ga nakon 10 godina, uzivajte u nekim mladim licima, u nastavku slijedi video broj! Snimatelj spota bio je Mirko Pivcevic, redatelj Zak Valenta, koreografiju potpisuje Benjamin Hrupacki, kostime Dario Rossetti,a styling djevojaka Robert Kozjak i Ksenija Nakic-Alfirevic. U spotu uz clanove PUTOKAZA sudjelovali su brojni prijatelji, pa decki i djevojke, none i nonici, djeca suradnika, necaci...Rijeka dragih ljudi..Na Helleyi, planetu "Nova Zemlja"!
