This music video was put together by some of our favorite creatives: Fleur & Manu (No Brain) provided the decidedly Spielberg-ian direction, DIVISION Paris (No Brain, On’n'on) handled production and Machine Molle (The Greeks, Sur Le Quai, Goin’in) delivered the visual effects.
I’m a big fan of M83‘s lush, layered, shoegaze-but-synth-heavy sound and the dream-team listed above delivers some enigmatic, atmospheric visuals that serve as a pitch-perfect accompaniment.
Truth be told, we first saw this back in October when one of our regular contributors, Sam Lillard, dropped it in our inbox. We liked it then, too! So much so that we filed it in our ‘_POST NOW BRAH_’ folder which, in light of today’s latent response time, should probably be renamed. Anyways, we decided to finally get this up on the site when we saw that its sequel, Reunion, was recently released. It’s just as great as the attached so, when you’re done here, definitely give it a watch next. Enjoy!
P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for No Brain‘s brief cameo at 0:27.

The creation of The Tripatorium™ was inspired by three videos in particular, sorted here in ascending importance: Kill Your Co-Workers, The Music Scene and The Parachute Ending. Those aforementioned music videos are the exact sort of thing I like to watch most: more than TV; more than movies; more than even Adventure Time and Regular Show (it’s true). They’re bundles of electrons that, when translated into patterns of rapidly flashing combinations of red, green and blue light, seem to massage every synapse within the entertainment processing neighborhood of my brain. My hope was that, if I shared them, I might find other people who felt the same way.
It turns out I have!
One of those people, Mark I., just wrote in with Birdy Nam Nam‘s latest video that, like it’s predecessor (the aforementioned The Parachute Ending) is packed with artwork from the talented Mr. Will Sweeney. However it was Machine Molle (and not Steve Scott) that provided direction this time around who, you might recall, was the production unit behind the excellent Sur Le Quai. It’s gorgeous, bizarre, trippy business friends. I hope it serves to improve your Saturday night. Cheers!
Thanks for the heads-up, Mark!

Colorful high definition animation set to some french electro pop that takes the viewer on a bizarre fantastic voyage through a forest to a flying train, the inner wormhole visions of the mind and beyond. In other words: an instant classic of The Tripatorium™. Direction from Sanghon Kim, production by Machine Molle (of Cartoon Style Fighting Kids fame) with backing tunes courtesy Les Mains Ensorcelées.
The proper viewing ritual should be familiar by now: full screen, in HD with a nice pair of headphones strapped to your skull. Enjoy!

Two members of The Council of The Tripatorium™ were hanging out and came across this video. They both highly recommend watching it. That is all.
Music by IS TROPICAL, direction from MEGAFORCE and animation by 7 of Machine Molle.
