The face behind the madness..


Cyriak Harris, or simply "cyriak", is an animator from the U.K. who makes videos which are both incredibly beautiful and bizarre.

He and his works have been featured in various other media, such as [adultswim] and the BBC Southeast Today.

His YouTube channel--which he primarily produces his stuff from--can be found here. My Space music profile can be found here, regular music profile here.
