Video: Timothy Saccenti’s School of Seven Bells Project
- story THE FADER
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.
Video: Jamie Lidell, “Another Day”
- story THE FADER
For some reason we still get way too excited when two artists we’ve covered collaborate to do something cool. At this point, we’ve covered so many artists that collaborations will start popping off daily anytime now. Today, two recent FADER exclusives come together to make a nutso music video. Last November, we interviewed Jamie Lidell after the debut of his no-longer-one-man band in LA, and in September, we got Timothy Saccenti to teach you how to make a video. Now, the two have come together to make this weirdly romantic little piece for a song off Jamie’s Jim. And we didn’t even introduce them.
