Produced and arranged by the band’s live show video instrumentalist Alejandro Crawford, the video brings artist interpretations inspired by the album together to accompany 'MGMT' for its full 44 minute run time.

We Are Hunted @ SXSW

SXSW 2012 starts soon, and we'll be there taking part in the Interactive side of things. We're teaming up with Twitter + Samsung + interactive artist Alejandro Crawford to deliver something special for #FEED (feed.learnedevolution.com/). It'll be loud, highly visual and super fun to play with. This next week, we'll also be featuring some great SXSW acts onsite - giving away numerous free downloads and promoting their shows, which should not be missed! Stay tuned.

If you read my interview with MGMT collaborator (and fellow ITP student!) Alejandro Crawford a few weeks back, you'll know that Alejandro and the band had pretty ambitious plans for their performances at the Guggenheim last week. I attended the second of the two shows and am happy to report that it exceeded my expectations in nearly every way imaginable. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that the performance and accompanying light show served to highlight--rather than upstage--the unsettling details of Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture mobile, in accordance with the band's stated intentions. To read more of my impressions and see a slideshow of my photos from the show, head over to MTV Hive.

I interviewed Brooklyn-based video artist and fellow ITP student, Alejandro Crawford, for MTV Hive. Alejandro has been doing some really incredible video projection stuff for MGMT for a little while now--he spent most of last year touring with the band overseas and handling their live visuals--and is currently working on an "audio-reactive LED wall" that will be displayed at the Guggenheim in conjunction with their upcoming shows there. If you've ever asked yourself, "How do bands do all those crazy projections that seem to react to the music in real-time?" this might be the peek behind the curtain you've been looking for.
