I was at an artist talk done by the lead singer of Yamantaka/ Sonic Titan today about her film work for their music videos. Yamantaka/ Sonic Titan is a band that is also a collaborative art project based out of Montreal. They create new instruments for their music, and their own story lines and installations for their band sets. The lead singer, Ruby Kato Attwood, creates the bands music videos. She utilizes many different film techniques to create the videos, from stop animation, live action film, and slow motion film, to drawing, painting, and installation-making. In her presentation, she described that many of the costumes and sets used in their shows are made from found objects or very cheaply sourced materials. However I think that their work has an almost high brow or rendered look to it, and this information from her presentation makes their work even more interesting to me.

I found their work to be refreshing, fun and psychedelic. Let me know what you think!
