343. (Reggie Watts) It's Over
2 years ago
Reggie improvised this song a few weeks ago. It was his first video with his electro-harmonix 2880, a looping machine with more flexibility than his normal Line6 DL4.
We shot it at Noah's place; he did the lighting. William helped with the sound. I hope we do more work as a group, just getting together and experimenting.

Oh, also, Reggie is going to start working on a new solo album soon. Keep in mind that his Vimeo clips are usually recorded straight into Garage Band and are improvised. Think about what he'll produce when he's in an actual studio and can write out his songs and evolve them.

it seems that we're all still on level 1 of music video making where the main imagery we see is people playing instruments. so boring! what do those images have to do with the actual songs and what the person is saying?
level 2 which you see every now and then is putting images that kinda maybe fit together with the vibe or some of the words of the song. or it's a very awesome sequence of images put to very cool music. spike jonze and michel gondry do this a lot. still, it's two separate things thrown together. does that one white stripes song have anything to do with legos?
i think the next level is videos with images that are a part of the what the song is saying: words, story, vibe everything fully integrated and complimentary. it's images we're talking about here! let's point the camera anywhere but at the dude making the music. :)
I live neither in the NW or NYC. I'm glad this video was created because it allowed me to "see" Reggie and "witness" his talents.
Well done Reggie, Jakob, et. al. Thanks for sharing this improv session with us all.
Erick, our initial conversation about boring music videos was valid, but I have an addendum. If the performers are naturally interesting, I think they can be the centerpiece of of a video. For example, if I'm about to watch a KISS music video, I want to see Gene Simmons in makeup.
A group like Nickelback is another story. In that case, it's the director's responsibility to fill the four-minute video with something worth watching.
my point is that since there's already videos on vimeo of Reggie performing, eventually i would love to see a video about what he is SAYING in his music. i think that his music is much more interesting than an image of him pushing buttons. i dunno, i think that Reggie would agree with me. :)
I think for fun, you should make a video of this song. With Reggie's permission, of course.
Either way, you can download the original file and inspect it yourself.
Also, I really like the improvised nature of Reggie's music.
I recently noticed his name on a CD that I bought a couple of years ago, a bunch of New York downtowners and jazzers called MYLAB. Is this the same Reggie Watts?
