Finally it's here: the Original Cultures Bologna '09 documentary. 20 minutes giving an insight into what happened during one sunny week in early June '09 at the first ever Original Cultures event. For one week we brought together six artists from the UK, Italy and Japan and the fields of visual arts and music. Om Unit, Tatsuki, Tayone, Ericailcane, Will Barras and DEM spent 3 days creating new works exclusively for a final showcase on day 4, at the same time taking part in workshops and seminars around the city allowing the public an insight into their creative process as well as the cultural exchange fostered by the event. This documentary, filmed and edited by The Slow Breakfast, aims to give those who couldn't be there an idea of what happened (and those who were there a nice little trip down memory lane) with edits of the 3 days of workshops, the final showcase and the live painting session which took place on the 5th (unofficial) day. All of this is soundtracked by music from the showcase and also includes some interviews with the musicians about their experience of the week in Bologna. You can stream the documentary above or download it below both in HD quality. Be aware the file weights 750mb so make sure you got a fast connection. Massive thanks to all the artists, staff and crew who made this event possible. Also big thanks to our official partners, media sponsors and supporters. You can check more audio, video, photos and blogs from the event in our archives. And don't forget to check the events list for details of our Original Cultures London 2010 event which is taking place Feb 27 to March 5, 2010 at venues in the Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane.

Footage from this session, which was organised at the last minute, In the run-up to our Original Cultures London 2010 event we're releasing a brand new video of our visual artists painting a building in Bologna together on the last day of our 2009 event. Footage from this session, which was organised at the last minute, has so far never been released. The only record of it were a few images on our Flickr page. For the first time you can see what these guys did in an afternoon and in an improvised setting. The soundtrack for this video is taken from the live show that was held the previous night, and features our three musicians alongside Bruno Briscik on cello bass. Check out full audio from the show on our Soundcloud page. The video also forms part of the video documentary of our Bologna 09 event, which if you've been paying attention you'll know has been considerably delayed from our original announced release date of October 09. We're sorry for the delay but we're doing our best to release the Bologna video doc this month, as a way to promote the London show. We hope to have everything online in two weeks time. You can stream or download the video below. iTunes and RSS feed subscribers should already have it. Remember the easiest way to keep up with all our video and audio is to subscribe to either RSS or iTunes and then just let them do their magic. Stay tuned for details of Original Cultures London 2010 and in the meantime enjoy!

Here is the second short edit of the exclusive animation created by the trio of visual artists we invited to Bologna in June this year. As we explained with the first video this animation was created by Ericailcane and DEM from Italy and Will Barras from the UK. The music was written by Om Unit (UK), Tatsuki (JP) and Tayone (IT). Together these six artists worked as part of the first Original Cultures event in Bologna, Italy in June 2009. The audio and animation were created separately, without the artists knowing what the others were doing, before being brought together for a live showcase. This edit gives everyone who couldn't make the show, as well as those who did, a chance to see part of what happened on the night - a truly unique coming together of artists and cultures. Originally silent, these short edits of the animation have been synced with music from the live show. You can also view this Flickr album for more behind the scenes look at how the guys created the animation and the rest of the visual show they put together. You can view the first edit here. Stream and download the second edit below. In 2010 we'll be unveiling three remixes/soundtracking of the animation by new artists from the UK, Italy and Japan. Till then enjoy!

Together these three artists, namely Ericailcane and DEM from Italy and Will Barras from the UK, created an animation to accompany the music that was being written at the same time by the three musicians we'd also invited - Om Unit (UK), Tatsuki (JP) and Tayone (IT). Bear in mind that while these six artists worked in the same period of time (4 consecutive days) and in the same city, they didn't work together as such and never saw the final result of each other's work until the last day when everything was brought together for the final showcase. No one knew what it would look and sound like together until the show started. Originally silent, we've made short edits of the animation synced with music from the live show to give everyone a chance to see some of the incredible stuff the guys came up with. You can also view this Flickr album for more behind the scenes look at how the guys created the animation and the rest of the visual show they put together. You can stream and download it below. This is the first of two edits, the next one will go online shortly. And in 2010 we'll be unveiling three remixes/soundtracking of the animation by new artists from the UK, Italy and Japan.
