A nice email from Rasmus from Efterklang alerted us to this new website. It’s the new project and website by French filmmaker Vincent Moon, and is called TemporaryCopenhagen.
It features 16 films and 12 Copenhagen bands – two of the films are over 30 minutes long and everything is available for free.
Here is what Vincent Moon says:
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.
Both projects are viewable, under Creative Commons licence, at temporaryslaraffenland.com and temporarycopenhagen.com

Both are excellent! The Slaraffenland videos are pretty stunning, and add to the excellent album (get it from America or Scandinavia and review it please!). & The Copenhagen one has five of my favourite Danish bands on it (Slaraffenland, Efterklang, Choir Of Young Believers, Jong Pang, Chimes & Bells). Plus you can download the songs, mmmm.
