Saint Motel is an indie pop band originally from LA, with roots in cinematic studies lending to a frequent embrace of visual forward videos and projects. The group has been widely acclaimed for their technologically forward concept album _saintmotelvision_. The album was released with a corresponding app which interactively played the album in both virtual and augmented reality. This project was also made available for purchase through bitcoin.
Over the weekend the band DJed at David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption aka the ultimate hub of all things “Lynchian”. Check out the photos below and experience the fest through their weekend recall.
Getting to the festival early so we can have time to explore…
Just in time to see Francis (he insisted we don’t call him Mr. Coppola)
One of my favorite lines from his speech was “Risk is the sex of creativity” and it is something I would be repeating all night long.
Then we went to try the new Twin Peaks VR experience.
It was really well done. Slightly beautiful, slightly eerie, just like you would expect.
Then it was off to see the man of the hour discuss his creative process and the great power of transcendental meditation.
After David, we were up! Our early evening DJ set was a mixture of film scores and 60’s pop and soul. Sharp is the king of slick cross fades...
Then we Plant DJ’d for a little bit...
And that’s a wrap on the 2018 Festival of Disruption! Time to head home and ponder more on the Francis Ford Coppola quotes.
