Never one to stop squirming, Lyle Bell/Whitey Houston made a magnificent, bumpin’ remix of Now That I’ve Given Up Hope, I Feel Much Better.
His original, aAron Munson-co-directed video for the Shout Out Out Out Out song just won the top music vid award over the weekend at the FAVA gala at Metro Garneau, and here Whitey explains this 18-minute, kaleidoscopic new work:
“This was originally going to be an audio complement to the raw chairs footage that we projected on NYE. Once the audio remix was done I felt compelled to give the video the full treatment as well. Et voila! An epic slow roller track with some of giant saxophone stax courtesy of Brett Miles!”
Miles, as always, kills it, and Whitey will hopefully keep experimenting in this city twitching with experimental film and video art.
Here’s my post on the making of, and more importantly, the new film:
