New Battles Video "Tonto"



I guess the bar was set pretty high by the "Atlas" video, performed inside a cube of two-way mirrors. (see post below) So, for their follow-up, Brooklyn avant-garders, Battles enlisted the services of the UK's United Visual Artists.

According to their website, "UVA's approach combines three disciplines: art direction, production design and software engineering. Our philosophy is to tightly integrate these elements to deliver real-time, immersive and responsive experiences."

Here they use columns of LED lights to create evolving patterns, in sync with Battles syncopated, math-rocky composition. Dim the lights for this one.

Buy Battles debut full-length, Mirrored. (amazon) (itunes)

PS Please excuse Cam for his recent absence. He has been busy making his weird little movie. He will be in regular attendance from now on.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Labine
