Lansing Dreiden is an art collective based out of New York City, experimenting with multimedia work as well as illustration, sculpture and written work. Musically they are know for their eighties pop and synth influences, experimental sound with a great focus on lyrics.
The music video for Glass Corridor, off the EP “The incomplete triangle” released in 2003, consists of a series of black and white illustrations all resembling different corridors; a pointer to the name of the song. As the song is progressing so does the corridors; very similar to a visualizer creating a slightly trippy state of mind while watching it. Although there is not much going on in the music video besides the visualizer illustrations; it is the simplicity of these intricate patterns that makes this music video noteworthy. First off; it is very deliberating seeing a band finally stepping away from the oh so predictable “performing the song ” format if only for 3.39 minutes, secondly; the music video is a perfect representation of who they are as a band and an art collective if looking at their previous body of work. It is interesting to see how the illustration correlates with the melody and beat of the song and how the graphics are interchanging with one another and lets not forget; the song itself is phenomenal.
