Autechre - plyPhon (2020 4K version)

Back in 2008 I produced my first work, an unofficial music video for a song called plyPhon, from the famous British electronic music duo Autechre. I can tell I was heavily influenced by the aestethic of Alex Rutterford’s own Autechre video masterpiece Gantz Graf, but I was also willing to create an even more radical audiovisual experience in which every single 3d element could be directly linked to some the soundtrack various elements. In other words I attempted to create an extremely accurate 3d visual score of the song. The song structure was very fit for the purpose. The result was this quite crazy music video done in one single camera shot. In its accuracy between visual and audio the work still looks good to me today I think. I remember it as a very fun exercise of audioanalysis!
