Скачать или смотреть Magnolia & Johnson Electric Co. - Twenty Cycles to the Ground (Official Video)

With the help of Josh Thorud of Ocular Dreams and Tim Getting, we put together a music video for "Twenty Cycles to the Ground." The idea came from Josh wondering what the title meant, as it evoked for him images of electric cycles in televisions. So we got together in the UVA Robertson Media Center animation studio, ran concert and rehearsal footage through analog devices, and then set up two CRTs to play the video and glitched audio signal from those devices alongside a bunch of prints of recently unearthed Matt Pence photos of the Molina and Johnson session. We tried to make something dreamy and wistful, combining the past and the present through moving and still memories, old and new technology, and a new version of a classic recording.
