Bison - Jon Hopkins

Check out the new music video for Jon Hopkins' live performance at the ICA.
Directed by Bison (aka Dave Bullivant and Owen Silverwood) and produced by Blinkink's James Bretton, you can read more about their technique here.

"We were really keen on making a gritty, abstract performance video. So we set to work with magnets, screwdrivers, VHS tapes and a host of other techniques: We made an initial edit and played this back through a £3 TV we picked up at the local market, and 'manipulating' it with a screwdriver allowed us to flutter and flicker the image on screen. We'd also bought an industrial strength magnet and used that to distort and twist the picture on itself. We made several runs through the track in this way before playing everything out to VHS (with obligatory stomping and scrunching)".
