    We were really attracted by the epic visual appeal of cymbal making: bronze, fire, hammers —something almost mythological and elemental like Vulcan or the Nibelungen. We chose Bosphorus Cymbals in Turkey because they had this very traditional process that barely changed in centuries; in this video I am just a link in the chain of production and quality control, after all these cymbals have been melted, hand hammered, and lathed into a musical object.

    I’m not sure why Gaspard Augé created only such a short teaser video for the first single from his upcoming solo album, even though Force Majeure is already out in the –seemingly– full version on Spotify and YouTube (without a proper video). Either way I really would’ve liked to see more of the shown traditional craftsmanship paired with the driving electronic music —probably because Augé’s music helps me to cope better with the recently announced break-up of Daft Punk.

There are some legal and privacy information —written in german and not laid out very thoughtfully, though. It’s nothing fancy really, just good ol’ common sense. Frank Chimero said it best: Be nice. Give credit. Share, don’t steal. If there's something you don't want to be featured here, just let me know via email.

That's all folks.

ps.: You look good today. ✨
