Wanderer Sessions: Communipaw
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 5:09 AM New Brunswick's Communipaw were recently featured on Pollifax.com's series called Wanderer Sessions. You can check out a video of them performing in a forest in New Brunswick above. Make sure to check out the complete story here. Excerpt below.
This is the 30th Wanderer Session since we started back in September. 30 bands filmed. 30 lessons learned. So much has changed since I first filmed Dan Rauchwerk at Buccleuch Park for the first ever session. Back then, I was satisfied with shooting acoustic videos of songs, trying to capture those three minutes of musical greatness in one bubble along with whatever sirens blaring off, cars passing by, street walkers dancing, everything really that just happened to be witnesses to these musicians playing in the most random places. Interacting with them. But as I learn more and more things about this new medium, I start to think and learn and experiment more with what can be done with the music I record; what can be done with the world around it at that second; what can be done with the random people clapping, the gentle whisper of the tress at the right times, the distinct bite of the lip of the musician at specific lyrics. Suddenly, moments become stories; shows become films. At least in my head. All for the sake of keeping up with my favorite Frenchman whose work with music videography continues to mesmerize me.
