Re: Another New Video

Rainer,
I don't even know what IDM means (though I think I can guess).
"IDM" is short for "intelligent dance music", and is not so much a
genre, as a set of properties that music of different (electronic) dance
genres can have - most of the time, it refers to the property that it's
not a stupid techno or house beat going on for minutes.
Important artists in IDM include (in no specific order) Autechre, Aphex
Twin/Richard D. James, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher/Tom Jenkinsons, The
Sabres of Paradise etc.
The basic underlying "beat" tracks were an outtake of the collaboration I did with Krispen
Hartung last year "Dance Music for Inanimate Objects"

Fun stuff - just had a quick listen now. Even though he has been
specializing on much different things, Krispen still sounds best when
he's playing typical post-bebop/fusion electric guitar parts ;).
Speaking of which, here's another IDM track featuring Krispen:
http://moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/aspirin-age - it turns "IDM" about 5
minutes into the track.
It started out as a segment about 2-3 times as long snipped from a three
and a half hour recording session.
Does that make sense?
Frankly, I was more interested in how you did the video here* ;). Did I
miss the explanation in your mail, or did you decide not to "dance about
architecture" in that case?
Rainer
*: it's mostly because I myself have a proven track record, as they say,
of having snippets from some projects lying around for years, only to be
recontextualized later...
