Max Cooper Ft. Samad Khan - Weakness of the Flesh (Official video by Kevin McGloughlin)

► Subscribe to Max Cooper: Max Cooper: “I was struck by the raw, textural aspect to this dance project, with the vast concrete space, the dirt on Emma’s face, the writhing intensity and the stuttering clones. It seemed to me to be peaceful and smooth as well as violent and rough at the same time. I tried to bring some of those combinations into the soundtrack, using binaural recordings of my fingers scrubbing against rough concrete surfaces and a wind chime making disorganised melodies. For the synth elements, I played several layers live while trying to mimic the movements of the dance, often being compelled into moments of discordance and strange edits. I stuttered the sounds to sync with Kevin’s clone actions, and followed a slightly unusual arrangement defined by the visual sequence rather than by musical considerations. I love working like that, it forces makes me do things differently.” Filmed in Los Angeles, USA Directors: Kevin McGloughlin Jacob Jonas Choreographer: Jacob Jonas Featuring: Emma Rosenzweig-Bock Music & Sound Design: Max Cooper Vocal: Samad Khan Cinematographer & Color: Shaun Boyte Animation & Edit: Kevin McGloughlin Assistant Editor: Joy Isabella Brown PRODUCED BY: Jacob Jonas The Company Executive Producer/Creative Director: Jacob Jonas Producers: Jill Wilson, Emma Rosenzweig-Bock, Mathieu Wothke Associate Producers: Joy Isabella Brown, Francisco Cruz, Steve Hackman, Emily Kikta, Rubberlegz, Anibal Sandoval, Mike Tyus, Peter Walker IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: Somewhere Magazine CO-PRESENTED BY: Joan W. and Irving B.
