YouTube mashup master Kutiman recently teamed up with Israeli surf rock band Boom Pam to create a quirky video for its growly single, "Light Up."
We've covered Kutiman -- a.k.a. Israel-based producer Ophir Kutiel -- in the past for his musical/video creations, including a song composed entirely of mashed-up YouTube videos ("My Favorite Color") and a music video titled "Thru-Jerusalem" that brings together local musicians to epitomize the sounds of their city. Kutiman also made it onto Time's "50 Best Inventions of 2009" list for a past project, ThruYou.
Now, the artist is out with a new video in collaboration with Boom Pam, a collage of images and projections that characterize old-school rock song, "Light Up," which guitarist Uri Brauner Kinrot says is about "spiritually lighting up."
"It was just a test that became a video piece," says Kutiman. "I didn't really have any storyboard or any vision, I didn't know what was going to come out of it. I was just playing around with it, and that was the result."
