Sigur Rós & Martin de Thurah: Matchstick Girl HD

Please watch in HD if possible.

Commissioned by the Royal Danish Ballet for use as a stage backdrop. From 2005.

I DID NOT MAKE THIS!
Still, it is not right that this footage is not available for viewing online in good quality. So there ... I think I just broke the law.

Video by Martin de Thurah.
Music by Sigur Ròs.

amazing, i wish sigur rós would release this track, and combined with the video, incredible. thanks for sharing a MUCH better quality than the versions out there.

@burnptcruisers You're welcome! Yea, they really ought to make an 'official' release. But I guess - so many years after the fact - this is as close as we will ever come to seeing that. Let's just hope, the video gets to stay here undisturbed.

The Little Match-Seller by Christian Andersen... Video is superiour art, too.

Excellent upload !

@VanPiorsing Thank you very much! I think, in fact, they were celebrating the bicentenary of HCA's birth. I really wish I'd been there, it must've been quite something: a ballet performed in front of this beautiful animation (projected onto the backdrop) to the music of Sigur Rós ...
