this is another post i grabbed off music thing. it's a robot that roams around and looks for thins to drum on... finds them... drums... samples itself... plays it back... and plays along with it.
this guy over on lets make robots is droppin' some serious diy hobby horse knowledge...
daft punks electroma promises to be a surrealist tale of loneliness and longing... as per usual i base my opinions on the critiques of others as i have yet to witness the film... but this clip has me adequately intrigued. actors portray the robot duo as they drive an 80's model ferrari across a seemingly endless american landscape on a quest to become human... the film is directed and written by the electronic wizards themselves(Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) yet features none of their own music... instead focusing on moving the speechless imagery along through the music of others (everybody from curtis mayfield to brian eno)... i don't know... it's a surrealist movie about robot suicide, what more could i want? i'm gonna go see it when it plays at the clay theatre, anyone else down? friday november 30th at midnight.
