Tobi Totschlag's mashups do what hipsters have done in the privacy of their own homes for years: put a nature show on mute and crank up Björk, Radiohead, Lykke Li, and other favorites. Totschlag takes special care to create a rapport between sound and image, however, and the results are mesmerizing. Kathleen Flood at the Creators Project discusses the series with Totschlag, who explains, "listening to music while watching [BBC's Life] really allows you to concentrate on the beauty and poetry of it all, more than if you’re distracted by a commentator." Check out some of his mashups below.
