Jerome Murat: Old Tricks for a New Medium
Even at the height of my most technological performing days, with computers and global hookups and heavily effected video, I also would periodically grab my guitar, or my three juggling balls, and hang out on the corner at the Madison Farmer’s Market and busk. Why? To remind myself–and reassure myself–that it’s not about the props, it’s about the performance. To try and remember that I’m coming from a long and venerable tradition of performance that stretches back further than recorded history, to dancers moving in the flames of the fire and wood pounded on skin and the pure joy of catching something you’ve tossed up into the chaotic trajectory of the air.
Which is why I love this video clip, gotten via Shanmonster (who is herself one of my favoritest people I’ve never met). I’d recommend checking out the full-size clip on DailyMotion, but it’s here, too, if you’d rather:

Without a doubt this is the most enjoyable video that I have ever seen. . . The music, the lighting. . . every exacting detail. . . Just wonderful. . . .
I frequently play it. . .
