We've covered instructional videos before, but this clip [QT video] from Curved Air is amazing. DJ KelsKel McKeown has cut up three videos to make one track. That bass player's look is FINE. (Thanks, Mikey)
Wow, that was really cool. Great idea. I hope this sets off a lot more similar projects. I like the idea of hearing a loop while seeing the video of the player loop.
This is awesome. When i saw DJ Shadow live during the 'in tune and on time' tour he did this with the live video guy taking midi from his MPC to trigger the proper video clip for each sound he triggered, that was pretty amazing too.
The video is really good ! But the look of the bass player is amazing too. I find some information about him and his weird haidress and his friends'. http://www.beaverfelton.com/WebPhotos/Weightlifting/WinstonSalemOpen_1975.jpg
read more about him on his website: http://www.beaverfelton.com
you will learn that he was previously a weightlifting champion. Felton is the first Georgian to win a championship in the in the seniors' national competition since Paul Anderson accomplished the feat 21 years ago, in 1954.
Yep, I made this video and hadn't seen it for about four years until random people kept emailing me about it. Anyway, glad you seem to be enjoying it. But my name isn't DJ Kels, and I don't know where that came from! My name is Kel McKeown, and I release records on DC recordings. Check out www.kelpe.co.uk www.myspace/kelpemusic
The drummer's name is Louis Belson but I forget the name of the video. The guitarist is Emily Remler and her video was called How to Play Swing Guitar. If you wanna put it up somewhere please ask me first.
Wow, I really like this video. The bass player is just hilarious and the multi-screen effects are impressive. A similar piece by TV Sheriff is now at Evil TV: http://www.eviltv.net/main/item-work.php?id=348. That one adds the additional element of Fabio!

ReplyDeleteThat was amazing. According to the date at the end, it's 5 years old now!

Looks a LOT like the stuff EBN was doing in the early 90's with drummer instructional videos. Very cool.
