like these a lot
the first person I remember cutting up video of musicians playing and making them into stuttering drum kits was Emergency Broadcast Network in the early 90's, but at the time (early 90's) their source material was mostly limited to geeky VHS instructional tapes of studio musicians sharing their tricks. so while visually the aesthetic is identical to EBN's videotapes from 15 years ago, youtube epxanding the source material into living rooms the world over takes this idea to whole new level
I hope Drew's Soft Pink Tube project isn't just lost, he got busy with other things I know but I love those (music-only) tracks

^wish i'd have had a chance to do a few more of these; the comments were fun to get
Also has a Cinematic Orchestra mood, thanks in part to the modal sax.
His technique in arranging/composing this is very impressive. And the sourcing is incredible. The sax solo video has only 257 views. I'd love to see some sketches or interim versions (must start with the vocal and the chord change and build out from there).
This would go over beautifully even out of context, as a cosmic-soul-jazz-dance record or an Erykah Badu album track, etc. Given the process, that's just incredible.
