MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-SLY_STONE

 

Mistigram: it's been an eventful ten days and the occasion ducked our notice for a week and a half, but in memoriam, here's a somber monochrome #teletext portrait of the late #SlyStone by @blippypixel, included in last year's music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/HORSENBURGER-WILL_SMITH

 Mistigram: This monochrome #teletext portrait of #WillSmith was drawn by @Horsenburger and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago this month.  Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

 Mistigram: @teletextr adapted the cover art to the European release of the #PointerSisters' 1983 single #Automatic to #teletext, in this screen from the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago.  Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-STEVIE_WONDER

 Mistigram: this colourful and expressionistic #teletext portrait of #StevieWonder getting his groove on was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

MIST0224/ATONALOSPREY-LIL_NAS_TELETEXT

 Mistigram: @atonalosprey drew this #teletext portrait of #LilNasX, the singer of the longest-reigning number one single of all time, #OldTownRoad.

MIST0224/ATONALOSPREY-FELIX_DA_HOUSECAT-HE_WAS_KING

 Mistigram: you have apparently hacked your way into this #teletext adaptation of the cover art to #FelixDaHousecat's 2009 album #HeWasKing, drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago.  Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

 Mistigram: this #teletext portrait of #gospel #blues musician #BlindWillieJohnson was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection released one year ago.  February is #BlackHistoryMonth of course, and American popular music specifically would have stalled with John Philip Sousa without enormous contributions from Black Americans.

MIST0224/KUROGAO-BEAT_EMOTION

 Mistigram: those unfamiliar with Japanese rock may not instantly recognize the iconic cover art to #Boøwy's 1986 album #BeatEmotion, but @kurogao96 has nailed it in their trademark #ASCIIart / emoji adaptation. This piece was included in our recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/ATONALOSPREY-SHONEN_KNIFE-SWEET_CANDY_POWER-DIZZY

 Mistigram: @atonalosprey made this #teletext adaptation of the album art to the single #Dizzy from #ShonenKnife's 2019 album #SweetCandyPower, depicting iconic dresses in a #PietMondrian pattern the band's members have been wearing, on and off, for decades. This screen was included in the recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-EVOLVER

 Mistigram: this #teletext adaptation of the cover art to #Weezer's second album, 1996's #Pinkerton, was made by @atonalosprey. The design derives from #Hiroshige's 19th century #ukiyoe print #KambaraYoruNoYuki ("#NightSnowAtKambara"). This screen was included in the recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-REEL_TO_REEL

 Mistigram: a state-of-the-art audio recording medium during WWII, over the next fourty years the #ReelToReel machine became the refuge of audiophiles and the experimental avant-garde, before falling by the wayside and, finally, becoming illustrated as a #teletext animation by @blippypixel in the music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection. There's still something hypnotic about watching the spools endlessly turn.

MIST0224/ATONALOSPREY-MARIYA_TAKEUCHI-SWEETEST_MUSIC

 

Mistigram: this #teletext adaptation of the album art to #MariyaYakeuchi's 1980 single, #SweetestMusic, from the Miss M album, was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-MODULAR

 Mistigram: this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics animation loop of a modular synthesizer was made by @Blippypixel and included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection. 

MIST0224/NI-GJET

 Mistigram: This #ANSIart portrait of the recently-rediscovered #SophieEllisBextor, on a cover art variant of her 2000 #Spiller single #Groovejet, was drawn by our wildly talented guest star @_n1tr0n and included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection. If this ain't love... why does it feel so good?

MIST0224/ZXGUESSER-PERRY

 Mistigram: This #teletext adaptation of the cover art to Moog innovator and Ondioline proponent #JeanJacquesPerrey's 1968 album #TheAmazingNewElectronicPopSoundOfJeanJacquesPerrey was drawn by @ZXGuesser and included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0224/ATONALOSPREY-ELVIS

Mistigram: @blippypixel made this tribute to the sound output capabilities of the #Korg #NTS1 Nu:Tekt synthesizer kit.  It was included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
