Memeing for a living at Know Your Meme

This video is an experiment. The thought was, what happens when you take 3 art forms, set them up without letting them collaborate directly and let them react to one another spawning some mutant art child?

Well, here is what happened. 

We took the Japanese dance form of Butoh, the tape-looping analog synth music of @salvorprojects​ and set up a single shot. The dancer had never heard the music or seen the frame and the music was not conceived for the dance. Then the incredible film editor Billy Song got a hold of the footage, conceived a ridiculously labor intensive math vs rhythm inspired cutting technique, and fused everything together. 

The original footage is available for downloading / remixing / incorporating into your own work:
