Temporary Copenhagen
2009.11.02
From French filmmaker Vincent Moon:
In May 2009, I flew to Copenhagen, invited there to experiment some recordings. I had gone in search of this “new” Danish scene, mostly following Slaraffenland in their acoustic rendition of their new album, over one day all over Copenhagen. The result, “Temporary Slaraffenland”, is a 40 minute piece, including all their songs in “Take Away Show” style versions.
Two days later, we brought 9 local bands in one house, for one night, to experiment a certain relationship between music and images, and collaborate on something unique and ephemeral. The result is a 30min sound and visual piece, one take, no cuts, plus a lot of outtakes with each band playing one of their songs. A certain idea of a document on a city and its creative life.
Beside Slaraffenland, the nine bands are Murder, Choir of Young Believers, Efterklang, Slaraffenland, The Sad Lovers, Chimes and Bells, Thulebasen, Jong Pang and Valby Vokalgruppe. And, in bonus, there’s extra footage with takes of I Got You On Tape, The William Blakes and Taxi Taxi!.

Thanks Rasmus.
