Video: Timothy Saccenti’s School of Seven Bells Project

May 18, 2009


It's been a while since we talked to Timothy Saccenti about the making of his video for Animal Collective's "Peacebone." Turns out he's been busy making a 70-minute animation of sorts set to the music of School of Seven Bells. Anthem magazine has a preview of the video and a Q+A with Saccenti about the project, where he describes his work with a "Flame artist." Flame turns out to be the name of a computer program, not what comes from fire. But still, the clip, over the song "Face to Face on High Places," looks variously like an astrological chart, super hero angel wings, those purple circular packages of birth control pills, Myst and something we saw at the Boston Science Museum a really long time ago.
