The Elwins - Forgetful Assistance

“Forgetful Assistance” by The Elwins, from the album And I Thank You. The video (Directed by Michael Schmidt) features the bands’ real hands performing a highly choreographed “dance” with their phones. The video required three months of preparation and 19 takes to complete, using only four iPhones and a smattering of fun props.

Diego Stocco - Custom Built Orchestra

Diego Stocco is a one-man-orchestra, we let him speak for the project "Custom Built Orchestra" "I always been fascinated by the raw musical power that an orchestra can express, so, after creating a series of videos where I'm performing a multi-track piece with an instrument I designed, I decided to take the concept a step farther and create my own orchestra made of unusually unique instruments. The project started by handcrafting a diverse selection of instruments, then I wrote a composition where I could fit them all in and finally performed each part. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing it!"
