Thar Desert

Thar Desert is a 5/4 signature funk metal track inspired by Les Claypool odd basslines but also in debt with Chic's Bernard Edwards. It's something near to funk progressive, with a hammering atonal compulsive riff.

Animation environment pictures were token in Egypt by Alberta Marchiori. I played the track in front of my webcam, took frames of all the positions and cutted up them by photoshop (I had no green screen, unfortunately). I repeated equal position as I really couldn't cut up 1000 frames, or I needed 6 month to finish.The result is quite funny, I look like an hysterical slouching puppet.

Video is splitted in two phases. Despite music is looping on same theme, first part is a virtual travel in Egypt, so environment changes continuously from desert to town and back to desert again, where in the second part the animation slow down pace and keep the camera fixed following weather changes 'til closing.
