This week Sunday Matinee was shot at NYCWTF in January 2010 and is a whimsical journey into audio and sound from London’s Eclectic Method (You MUST SEE their video autobiography) – The trio made up of Jonny Wilson, Ian Edgar and Geoff Gamlen – helped pioneer the emerging art of audio- visual mixing since first cutting U2’s Mysterious Ways music video with the Beastie Boys’ Intergalactic as an experiment back in 2002. The group’s audio-visual mash-ups feature television, film, music and video game footage sliced and diced into blistering, post-modern dance floor events. It’s a cyclone of music and images mashed together in a world where Kill Bill fight scenes and Dave Chappelle’s Rick James rants are ingeniously cut and looped over bootleg samples, DVD scratches and pumped-up dance anthems. It’s a real-time subversion of technology and media performed live on video turntables for what LA Weekly called a “mesmerizing” sensory overload.”
