Take me away


Who is Vincent Moon?


Who is Vincent Moon, you ask? Or maybe you didn’t, but I will tell you anyway. A Parisian film maker involved in the creation of the always amazing Blogotheque videos. Alongside the site’s founder Cryde, the two set out to make “Take Away Video’s” of indie bands and various musicians in and around Paris. Starting in April 2006, the films have captured breath taking moments, fragments of the beautiful aspects of music making and illustrated to enthusiasts the stunning quality of both city and star.

Bon Iver, Arcade Fire (in an elevator, no less), Sigur Ros, Beirut (swoon*), Pricilla Ahn, The Ex, Tegan and Sara, the National, Black Lips… the list goes on and on of favourites I tend to post on my facebook page (educating the general public with good music one link at a time).

This year and last year, his focus changed to filming short music films portraying artists from Cambodia, Egypt, Istanbul, Brazil, Japan and Thailand.

Blogo joined the Black XS perfume and now create a series of concerts shot in nine countries with local artists, with the same goals and aesthetic of its earlier Take Away Shows. It is a beautiful exploration of new cities and new sounds.

“We returned from Japan where we shot the first episodes with, among others, Shugo Tokumaru or Tenniscoats. We will then go to Turkey, Canada, Mexico ... And every time we take you back to memories of music. The videos will be published on the website Black XS Live Sound and the Blogotheque. To celebrate Black XS decided to throw a party. We have decided to take groups.”- http://www.blogotheque.net/Toy-Fight-Gush

I love them. Thank God there are people who still can deliver pure music to people who appreciate it most.
