Elder Island share video triptych of interactive sessions - premiere
The videos capture the character of each track with varying dynamics
Bristol collective Elder Island are described as being "somewhere between The xx, Maribou State, Quantic Soul Orchestra and Mount Kimbie".
Fresh from releasing their Seeds in Sand EP in November 2016, they're putting out a series of videos that capture the character of each track with varying dynamics - it's an interesting and highly engaging way of giving fans a better insight into how these guys make music.
All three sessions were shot in VR, meaning viewers can use the control pad in the top left-hand corner of the screen to see how the three members of Elder Island add their own different elements to the overall performance.
We're premiering the interactive videos for three Elder Island tracks. Check them out below:
'Key One'
'Bamboo'
'Hotel Beds'
The band say of the video series:
"We are very pleased with how this 'off the cuff' video triptych turned out. It was recorded at Metropolis Studios, impromptu, at a practice session.
"All praise to those involved for pulling it out of the bag at a days notice. Having to manoeuvre its way through the mass of wires we'd strewn over the floor, the camera captures the character of each track with changing dynamics. The edits similarly mirroring these attributes.
"As a set or singularly we feel the videos capture a fusion of our studio time and live performances. We're hoping people enjoy watching them as much as we enjoyed making them."
