Dan Deacon – Paddling Ghost from Natalie van den Dungen on Vimeo.
Today’s 25th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is an over-caffeinated exclusive re-edit by extra-terrestrial experimental digital composer ‘Dan Deacon’ called ‘paddling Ghost’. The video was directed by Natalie van den Dungen, who has worked on some pretty impressive puppetry and surrealist video work in the past. This time she’s telling us the story of a paddling patch-eyed ghost who braves the crossing of many oceans and happens upon many strange characters, even Dan Deacon himself (as a puppet). The puppetry, sets and lighting are super clever throughout the piece. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.
