Discuss one of the most amazing artists on this planet, Claire Elise Boucher aka Grimes.

>Venus Fly is now on youtube! i would especially recommend watching it in 4K, i coloured it (with great help from @hanatruly ) for 4K viewing so that's prob the best way to watch haha. this video really means a lot to me for many reasons. first off, i've been a huge fan of janelle monaƩ since she debuted. i've always admired her genre bending, ground breaking art, sonically and visually. Collaborating with her was a dream come true, and i learned so much about songwriting and directing from her. furthermore, im on an independent label so i've never come close to having access to the kind of equipment/resources we had here(thank u Tidal!!!). i put my whole heart and soul into this project; conceptualized, directed, edited, coloured and post-prod, nearly destroying my computer in the process lol. I hope y'all can feel the love and i hope this video takes u to a trippy alternate dimension where giant humanoid eva's play w bubbles made of what i imagine the christofilos effect looks like ( trapped charged particles along magnetic lines of force ). it is most assuredly not a realistic depiction, it's just a vision i've had in my mind for a while since i began studying the cold war earlier this year. thanks so much u guys for caring about our art
Watch this masterpiece here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTLTXDHrgtw

>almost finished building like 20 or so 5D multi timbral synths in roli equator, they'll be released for roli blocks later this year. never made synths from scratch before, its pretty fun
Video with her playing a mean jam: https://www.instagram.com/p/BP6JQUMjSd_/

Grimes produced a new Aristophanes song, Humans Become Machines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHmVqMISPLw [Embed] If you don't know, Aristophanes is that Taiwanese rapper that performed on SCREAM.

Rule #1: be nice to Grimes.
Rule #2: see Rule #1.
Rule #3: be nice to each other.

Fart Angels sucked as does the new video. She needs to go back to Visions and maybe Halfaxa.

Even if she stars in a bukake porn movie with 50 niggas, I will still love her.
Even if she kills all my family and cuts off my hands, I will still love her.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, CLAIRE ELISE BOUCHER! FOREVER! CAN YOU HEAR ME?

My boyfriend has a huge crush and grimes and it makes me a little jealous to be quite honest. He browses here in occasion so he may see this.
For me her music is very hit or miss, some songs I find orgasmic and others repulsive.
I am a pretty casual listener of grimes so I only listen to the same 3-5 songs once a month or so. From an artistic standpoint I think she's pretty interesting but I can't jive with the bulk of her music.
I can't be the only one, anyone else feel this way?

I don't even like this artist but that video is a masterwork.

I'm highly skeptical that she came up with the concept, lighting or costuming by herself.
>>
>>70924898
really? the concept is two people swing fiery swords in leather-angel cosplay, just like she did for Genesis, it's so low concept it's amazing that it looks good. lighting is the same as her Go video. lastly you can tell it's a grimes costume if it has stupid wings.
having said that i like the video for about 45seconds before it becomes repetitive

>>70924898
>I'm highly skeptical that she came up with the concept, lighting or costuming by herself.
She did the concept and the costumes (the design). I'm not sure about the lighting but she must had some decisions about it since she's the director of the whole video. Nothing from that video was made without her knowing about it.
>>
>>70924898
If you're skeptical about that, why not be skeptical about her whole body of work? If you know Grimes' work ethic well enough, you know that she wants to do every little aspect of her art all by herself. So it should be no surprise that she came up with the concept, lightning and costumes.
>>
>>70925555
This. Grimes is a huge control freak, she can't let any detail to be out of her control. I think she would prefer no video at all than to have a video full of compromises.

I heard about her around 2011 but it took me a long time to really get into her music. I liked few songs from Visions but never listened to her older albums or even to the other Visions tracks.

I'm what I'd call a flyover listener, just cause I don't read the lyrics; but the feel off visions and halifax was a pretty grounded mist, off my feels on are tangles I got more a stormy cloud across town.

This post >>70937852 by the classical music anon is great too. It would be a shame to be wasted on a troll thread. Its content below:

>You're still correlating solitude to quality
POTENTIAL quality. The whole reason for moving towards a system of collaboration in the music-creation process in the first place is because it helps safeguard against the case of lone individuals going out on a limb and putting substantial effort into something that could've easily been identified as a total waste of time by another party early on. But by the same token, it blunts the ability of a lone individual to go out on a limb on something that proves to be spectacularly successful.

Solitary authorship is risky because the potential for almost total failure is always there. But so is the potential for almost total success. Spreading creative control over an entire group of people makes perfect sense from a traditional business perspective because it helps protect against total failure. But when it comes to the creation of art (especially in the context of low-cost computer-aided music composition) it more often than not just stands in the way of people making truly great things.

>I still maintain that utilizing studio musicians doesn't in any way take away from complete creative control.
If your music calls for a violin solo and you don't know how to play the violin, then it goes without saying that hiring a competent session musician is going to be a great boon to your overall creative process. But if you happen to be someone with the wherewithal to pick up how to play various instruments on a whim (eg. like Grimes) then there is no substitute for the expressive precision of your own hand on that bow.

>The video seemed like an ad for 4k televisions.
Is that a bad thing? What's the point of music videos anyway? Not to add some nice visuals to the music?

>Also, why did the music in the credits sound better than the actual song?
That's just your contrarian opinion.

>The whole thing just seemed like a disconnected mess.
Mess? The scenes are clear and distinct. The video is also kinda slow motion, so everything is displayed in great detail. That's far from a mess.

This. I'd be happy with even 10 more albums from her. I need more Grimes music in my life.
>>
>>70938514

>Damn... How come that some of the most influential guitar and keyboard players aren't all over her? I'm sure she's got all jazz standards down on guitar, piano and drums.
Because studio-level playing proficiency =/= jazz or classical level playing proficiency. Grimes knows enough to play instruments to support her own songs, not some imaginary classical level symphonies or jazz jams. She's also improving her skills all the time. Remember: she's mainly a self taught synthpop artist.

>She can barely play power chords.
That song demanded power chords only. Why she should play solos if the songs didn't require that?

>Commenting on her vocal performance is redundant I think.
It's not redundant. One thing is to sing in a studio in isolation and another thing is to sing in front of an audience, while dancing, playing the instruments and entertaining a crowd. Also she has/had some health issues (tinnitus, stomach problems, flu) and malfunctioning ear monitors. She can be hit or miss live, but when everything is fine, she could deliver an amazing show.

Another thing: singing is not her main priority, producing and writing songs is. At some point she even wanted to work exclusively behind the scenes as a songwriter and producer.

Not to mention a harp player, Joanna Newsom...

>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan.
>Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.

>Iā€™m super excited that Grimes is getting so much attention for her amazing production too because sheā€™s super, super talented. And she does everything! She produces completely on her own.
http://www.spin.com/2015/11/joanna-newsom-divers-interview/

>In terms of people today, as I said, Iā€™m a little out of the loop, but I have noticed Iā€™m really excited by the way that Grimes frames herself, and seems utterly disinterested in her own beauty, which is really exciting to me. Sometimes itā€™s useful for an idea, and then other times itā€™s not useful for an idea, and she seems unaffected either way. I like her music as well, and I like what she says.

Cool story bro. The problem is, even her most ardent fans (the real kind - not the fake internet-based waifufagging troll kind who routinely shitpost about her AS WELL AS OTHERS on /mu) will tell you that it is her talent as a musician and performer and NOT her looks that mark her out from the crowd of her peers.

Which is not to say that she isn't physically attractive in her own special way. Just that, when it comes to the types of people who prioritize sexiness before all else in forming their music listening preferences, it makes no sense to claim that she has mass appeal with those types of people when she clearly doesn't.

That was then. On recent interviews she said she's trying to live a more healthy life.

>plus has a history of drug usage
So what? Keith Richards took tons of drugs and he's still alive. I'm not saying drugs are good (actually I never consumed drugs) but it matters the dosage and the kind. Apparently she consumed fairly weak drugs.
>>
>>70945775
speed isnt really a fairly weak drug
>>
>>70945949
She said in some interviews that she consumed amphetamines, at least during making Visions.

>Amphetamine[note 1] (contracted from alphaā€‘methylphenethylamine) is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity.

>In 2015, a systematic review and a meta-analysis of high quality clinical trials found that, when used at low (therapeutic) doses, amphetamine produces modest yet unambiguous improvements in cognition, including working memory, long-term episodic memory, inhibitory control, and some aspects of attention, in normal healthy adults.

She has ADHD. If she consumed speed that would make her crazier. But enough talk about this delicate topic.

>>70948027
Everything about her videos speak to the contrary of what you just said and in the behind the scenes of the new one you even see them all hail her for her work. Imo the cutting and editing of her videos is nearly always close to flawless and they always have plenty of vibrant colour schemes going on.

But please enlighten us on what you think they lack?

>>70948567
If you believe that, how she could become a better director and editor if she doesn't try??? Do you think all directors and editors become experts over night?

>>70948864
of course not. she should try out different things, learn something, then put out a music video

>>70948764
you don't know much about editing, do you? also vibrant colours don't automatically mean good
>>
>>70948567
Taste is subjective desu. Imo she is a GREAT director and editor. And I'm saying that despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of non-linear narrative filmmaking either (the essence of her style):
>CB: If painters could be compared to filmmakers, Bosch is the Hype Williams of renaissance painters. With Bosch, there's always a narrative that is very nonlinear-- and that's the essence of a good music video. Hype Williams' music videos don't have narratives either-- they just focus so much on charisma. I find it really hard to throw myself into something artistically where I'm making up a whole character and finding something for that character to do.
>Pitchfork: It [the Genesis music video] feels reminiscent of a lot of video games, too.
>CB: That just naturally happens in a lot of the art I do because I like to read comics and play video games. I want it to be anime-like. It was very Tarantino influenced, and he's influenced by anime, and obviously anime and video games go hand in hand. The video references so much because I can't help taking everything that's attractive to me and putting it into stuff. I'm very bad at keeping things minimal.
http://pitchfork.com/features/directors-cut/8929-grimes/

It's exactly the same deal for me as with Quentin Tarantino (whose style, as explicitly mentioned in the quote above, is a direct inspiration for hers.) I generally do not like the way his films are put together. However that doesn't change the fact that I find him to be a brilliant director and consider most of his films to be some of the greatest works (of their kind) ever made.

Tbh though, I'd LOVE to see her start working on more linear stuff in the near future since, as mentioned - that's the sort of thing I personally prefer.

>Tbh though, I'd LOVE to see her start working on more linear stuff in the near future since, as mentioned - that's the sort of thing I personally prefer.
Do you mean some music videos with some sort of story behind them? If yes, I'd like to see that too.

>>70951540
Of course. Grimes should live forever. She's a Canadian national treasure IMO.
>>
>>70951612
>Do you mean some music videos with some sort of story behind them?
Actually... no. One of the advantages of non-linear storytelling in music videos is that it helps keep the song at the forefront of attention. A music video with a strong, coherent, linear narrative story to it isn't really a "music" video. It's a short film with music accompanying it.

I'd LOVE to see her make short films. And long films. And continue to make music videos which ARE truly music videos. I like variety desu.
>>
only 250,000 views in 2 days

not good
>>
>>70951800
Keep in mind that this is discounting its entire debut week's worth of views which were absorbed (by practical necessity) by Tidal's black-box eco-system.

Also 250k views in two days works out to be 1 million views over the course of 8 days. To put that into perspective, Grimes' pre-Venus Fly music videos have typically garnered 1 million new views per month. That would put this video at around a 300% increased viewership rate compared to her previous ones.
>>
>>70952014
Good analysis. Venus Fly lost some steam on Youtube because of that Tidal exclusivity, but even considering that, the video is successful so far. It will get some good millions of views by the end of this year.

by having "non-musician" in there it implies that this thread has the potential to be a gossip thread about her musician family members, but that's not true.
