French director Thibaud Noyer turned some heads (Kanye West’s, for one) with his weird ‘Havoc Arise‘ music video for TV Glory last year. So, we’re proud to premiere his brand-new video for Terminus on 2Pause.com. ‘Division Of Time‘ is something else – the video for this synth-heavy psychedelic soundscape (think: Pink Floyd meets Jean-Michelle Jarre) … Continued
Fieldlines is a free augmented reality application to hype-ity hype the (rather splendid) new album by Flying Lotus, of awesomely hurray-inducing music video fame. A mystical, other-worldly grandeur draws you in to this virtual pinball-like motion, defined by simple, organic, audio-reactive lines and spheres which remind us of Universal Everything’s LoveBytes ident – but then … Continued
Holy smoke! Literally! One of our very favorite music video chiefs, Romain Gavras (co-founder of groovy French collective Kourtrajme) just dropped this ultra-violent music video for the new M.I.A single Born Free. As is his custom, the clip looks like a super-slick documentary in an indistinguishable place, populated by gritty people in shiny tracksuits. A … Continued
Any child of the ‘90s will remember the special effects video splendor of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” or the spectacular “Sabotage” Beastie Boys clip – while the ‘80s youth among us will no doubt recall Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” or Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing”. We used to be able to tell which decade a … Continued
Have you ever heard of Clutchy Hopkins? He’s a mightily mysterious musician, who’s father had been a recording engineer for Motown bands – passed down everything he knew. Clutchy’s recordings and journals were found under the care of a Cahuilla Indian Mohave shaman who Clutchy had studied under: the writings of a musical gypsy who … Continued
We spent yesterday growing brain cells at a post-digital geek fest about a few of our favourite things: from a fan-powered Madonna music video to bottom-up buildings in Deustchland, crowd-sourcing, collaboration and participation were the order of the day. We particularly enjoyed the illicit thrill of critiquing the speakers via Twitter as Tweets were projected … Continued
These artists really worked their asses off to get your attention with their impressive animated music videos. Witness the meticulously constructed landscapes in the cross-country road trip of a couple of pairs of boots in Poon and Makarenko’s stop-motion promo for Zeus. Or the Gorillaz-inspired animated narrative for Spanish hip-hopper El Chojin, who envisions himself … Continued
Rihanna’s latest video is a completely over the top psychedelic cocktail of iconic pop culture imagery, taking inspiration from such disparate sources as Warhol, dancehall culture, video games and David OReily. Love the old-school 1980s video look created by those rusty analog video synths they used. Digital Studio Click 3X has the making of story.
We posted four new clips for your A/V pleasure on our super-swish new music video portal 2Pause. No less than three of them were prize-winners at Protoclip in Paris last month, including stop motion splendors from Olivier Gondry and Olivier Martin. The fourth is the brain-crunchingly beautiful Yeasayer video for Ambling Alp, concocted by some … Continued
