"Xiu Xiu improvising, experimenting, in a Parisian flat with a cello player. Lighters, beer cans, anything... A bit like experimental music from Bali..."

  • Interesting. I thought Xiu Xiu made most of their sounds with synthesizers, but this shows their experimental process with real objects. This is them just fiddling around with sounds. Search Youtube if you want to hear their actual music, the results of all this experimentation.

  • Trust me, this sounds nothing like Xiu Xiu's actual music. This is just them experimenting with different sounds that they will later use in a production.

  • @RaygunShaun Its called experimental, he knows his shit

  • @RaygunShaun hahahaha for a moment i stop watching the video and start doing other things,

    when i remember that i was alive i hear whatever im hearing and i realize i lost my mind listening to this lolololololololol, then i read ur comment aswell and my day was complete. lets be bff's

  • This would be better if Xiu Xiu actually did a song, instead of whatever this is.

    I love you Xiu Xiu, but what the fuck.

  • this is what passes for music nowadays is it

    couple of late 20s hitting bottles with a stick

  • While I like Xiu Xiu, this video does come off as a bit pretentious, but I think it's just the fact that they filmed it. If it had just been a couple people hanging out, making weird sounds, it wouldn't have been so. It's a thin line.

  • er......

  • Haha I love the abrupt exit. Good stuff Xiu Xiu is awesome.

  • Sick Jam! Did they just spark the bong?

  • I'd say it's closer to the British "free improvisation" scene a-la Steve Beresford or Derek Bailey.

    It's still not nearly as good, but Gamelan is highly structured, this is noodling.
