More slow motion moderat


Another Moderat video clip, this time with an amazing sequence of exploding concrete pylons. The detail is incredible, and the clip has a slow build up that really draws out the suspense until the action unfolds. The anticipation it creates does pay off, and the visual effect is rather mesmerising to watch. The collaboration with the BAM institute for material research in Germany (who among other things test the impact of aeroplanes on buildings) is behind this film, creating the concrete to be detonated under high pressure. Its a very stark and simple video, and for that it is also striking, and seems to be the signature aesthetic for Moderat's music.
