Mixtape Club and Huma-Huma released Music Box, an eccentric, audiovisual experiment commissioned by the Showtime Networks. The piece is part of Showtime's SHOrt Stories, a series of short films where artists can explore their own visions with as much creative latitude as possible.
Mixtape Club partnered up with their favorite musical monsters, Huma-Huma, to create a film that turns the traditional process of music video making on its head. The intention was to drive the wrong way down a one-way street.
Rather than starting with a song, and making a video to accompany it, the music and the visuals in this piece evolved together, organically and interactively. Huma-Huma and Mixtape Club locked themselves in a large room, got in a psychedelic state of mind, and proceeded to bang on things. One deconstructed piano and a lot of light and noise later, this video came out.
