seems more electronic artists are actually getting into visual accompaniments, i heard richard devine has a dvd coming out, autechre's gantz graf was pretty impressive, richie's disconnect (and maybe a dvd?), and another i probably shouldn't be talking about quite yet..
it's a good path, virtually unexplored especially when you throw in the 5.1 possibilities gondry, spike jonze, and cunningham do their most interesting work with musicians they're into, like white stripes, beasties, aphex/squarepusher, hopefully more pimp directors that are into good techno will start popping up take care /. kcAustin /. www.wddg.com /. www.bzor.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 11:35 AM To: Andrew Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: (313) Techno's Video (was voice) >A cool thing about techno is that it never went down that path, although a truly visual >representation of techno is probably waiting to happen - I always pictured >the coolest scenes from Drexciya making it into videos, kind of a window >into that world, an underwater dance party... and I guess it's people like >Jeff who are leading the charge with his DVD. As I mentioned once before on this list - there used to be a website that had videos of techno artists but is no longer in operation. It's too bad because they had Carl Craig's "Televised Green Smoke" video - which was very cool. I'd love to see some collection on DVD of Detroit techno/house videos past and present. With all the underground video makers and people like Michel Gondry and such into cutting edge/underground music you'd think someone would be approaching some techno heads to make videos. I don't mean some shaky hand-held DV shot in a dark club but actual music videos with concepts and higher production. Anyone remember the Inner City videos? If not check them out on KMS's website. I know - nowadays it takes major label money to make most videos but I don't think this is entirely true anymore with the technology and talent available MEK
