[VIDEO] Mouse On Mars make a tune in 10mins

[wub]

Had previously linked to an interview with Mouse On Mars and their obscene level of studio toys, now they're doing the 10min thing;

Mouse on Mars have been releasing barmy electronic music since 1993, working with a wide range of labels that includes Ipecac, Thrill Jockey and, most recently, Monkeytown. In their 20 years as a group, they’ve built up one hell of a studio, which they put to full use taking up the Against the Clock challenge – manipulating and processing a banjo sample and adding synth, drums and a torrent of effects (some via the duo’s own iPod app) until it’s completely unrecognisable. You should’ve seen us watch them work, it was the living embodiment of O_O. Mouse on Mars’ latest album, WretchDubbed, is out now.

Interesting. The end result was pretty cool.

These knuckleheads glossed over some truly incredibly beautiful moments right at the beginning of this. I could have filled a double lp with the bits that they let go down the river.

Jesus I didn't even know they found water on Mars

Gonna have to get up and watch in another room, can't wait.

[nowaysj]

Fucking Magma is long

Okay, here we go!

[nowaysj]

Was not worth it. Boo.

[wub]

Awwww...why not?

[nowaysj]

They missed it, the dragon(s) got away.

At the start of this session, I think they really had something, it just struck so hot, and so early. By the end, it was an utter mess. We all have those sessions, in fact, most of our sessions end that way, but we don't rate a film crew while driving the steaming ball of shit into the ground.

while the end result is... errr... they did fit a lot of pretty fearless creativity into 10 mins.

the idea of creating a unusual creative sample source during a 10 minute session takes an open mind.
