REBELRAVE #13: Dinosaurs and Flamingos

Here’s another Rebel Rave installment from our favorite director, David Terranova. #13 is focused on the featured artist of Get Lost VI mixed by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Terranova documents his experiences shooting artists and the occurrences while doing so. Terranova’s artistic direction, editing these down with sound are beautiful but edgy. Terranova breathes a little bit of nostalgia and human energy into all his videos.

“A couple of years ago I made a doco about TEED for Channel 4. It was for TV so I had to keep things safe and classy, but getting to mix Orlando with REBELRAVE was a much welcomed challenge. We had worked together a few times and I knew his sense of humour, so before shooting I had a certain idea in mind of what the editing style of the episode might be like.

My only regret was the Chinese massage. After a whole day of shooting in the rain, I wasn’t feeling too great about having enough content to make an episode, so I got together with Orlando the next morning and took him to an authentic massage place in Chinatown. What I saw in my mind was him lying down on his front whilst having a small woman painfully jumping up and down on his back, at the same time trying to explain his opinions on EDM to the camera. It wasn’t quite as exciting as that, in fact it was really boring. He just got a regular old fashioned massage which he enjoyed way too much.” Terranova

4Play for Channel 4: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Always a treat to see video work from David Terranova, his latest project collides with TEED(totallyenormousextinctdinosaurs). Terranova’s past works with Rebel Rave and Richie Hawtin has landed him in the driver’s seat with creative works fusing his passion of music and video. Terranova translates dance music into timeless visual harmony.

““I say that I make dance music,” he tells the filmmakers. “But most people in dance music say that they make house, or techno, or tech house, or trance, or drum ‘n’ bass, or liquid drum ‘n’ bass. And if we just kind of woke up tomorrow morning and there were none of these genres, you just had your record collection in front of you, you didn’t know what any of it was called or where it came from, it wouldn’t matter, that would be great! And you’d probably write some amazing music, and you’d love some music that you’d never loved before, because all the connotations and the weird ideas you have about whether it’s cool, and where it comes from, and what scene it is, and who wrote it, and whether you’ve heard it before—those would just be gone. I like that idea.” Orlando Higgingbothom
