Rubblebucket - L'homme Music Video Premiere

Rubblebucket - "L'homme" from Consequence of Sound on Vimeo.



So I recently directed a music video for Rubblebucket's single "L'Homme" off their new album Omega La La.

It dropped today (8/1/11) on music blog Consequence of Sound.

Heres a blurb we wrote to explain it:

The L'homme music video for Rubblebucket, (literally translated as
"The Man") engages the audience in a hypothetical reversal of power by
eroticising the image of big brother and reimagining him as a
beautiful man. Originally conceived as a tryptich for live
performance, 3 performance artists were filmed making gestures at the
camera. Recontextualizing these images for the music video, they
were then processed, scratched, glitched and rescanned in real-time
using custom video processing system designed by video artist/director
Eric Barry Drasin. Combined with footage later shot of lead singer
Kalmia Traver, Drasin weaves a psychadelic landscape that playfully
pokes fun at power relations between the watcher and the watched.
