SOULWAX - MACHINE

Radio Soulwax presents MACHINE:

After a couple of years of bread and butter, my studio 'The House of Curves' had a creative turning point.

This was the text that started it.

Soulwax wanted a film to show a visual manifestation of music sexualisation. To honour their insane record collection, and their obsession with the artform.
Saam conceived of Machine, drew a sketch of how he saw it, and brought it to us.

We nudged it around in 3D, The single conveyor became a twin production line
The pellets she was planning to pop became a trough of hot vinyl forming into a mold of their logo.

"Machine, conceived and directed by Saam Farahmand was inspired to create a unique interpretation of the ethos behind the project. The result is a breathtaking film that perfectly encapsulates the audio visual obsession of Radio Soulwax, which is now finally also available on Radio Soulwax"

“I collaborated with DAFFY in the creation of a unique machine. He and his studio were a rare breed of artists that wanted to push the film even further than I assumed was appropriate. A gentlemen of the highest order.”
