Kevin Ayers, Spanish Guitarist

Kevin Ayers can play some badass spanish guitar. Last weekend, I (along with three other filmmakers) shot a minimalistic type of music video for his cover of Cimarosa, a very classical piece of music. To the majority of today's TV-subscribed audience, this type of music is slow-going. We covered him with six cameras while he played the song out six times - 36 angles. That gave me some room in the edit to keep the momentum visually stimulating. The music being traditional, I thought the environment's minimalism would pair well with the song's composition.
