There’s a video that’s been around on video sites like youtube that’s been around for a while now which I’ve been slightly obsessed with ever since the first time I saw it. Manu Delago posted a video of a solo piece he did on an instrument called a Hang which I’d seen before but never heard played properly. I just LOVED the sound the things were making. When I heard it I really wanted to do something with it. Not too much but just……enhance it maybe? Re-edit it? I dunno. But I found out I could do video editing in good old ableton so I thought I’d give it a go. Here’s the result:

Here’s an mp3 of the audio: Manu Delago - Hang Drum solo (Mono Desire) [TM edit]

A big Thank you to Manu for posting the original video (which you can see here) and for letting me post the remix.

I don’t really know why, but I love this:

And a great Family Guy mini version.

Great song, cool video.

I know TV ads are a strange thing to post but I thought the combination of the game FMV and the Gary Jules version of Mad World (from Donnie Darko) in this Xbox 360 trailer was genius. Fair play to them for trying something a bit jarring and different I say!

Edit 26/10/08: Finally got round to playing (and completing) the game. Can’t wait for the sequel!
