    The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.

      This is my favorite of their videos because of how they play with the music itself and reimagine it even as they create a visual spectacle at the same time. All their work is wonderful to watch but this one feels like more of unified concept, and the musical aesthetic fits the lyrics better than the album cut, to me.

    Crazy that for years and years this version not only overwhelmingly impressed me but made me crazy emotional. Now that I'm in love and my heartache it means so so much more. Thank you Ok GO for always making music that speaks to the soul, especially a creative one.

    This car was discontinued 2 years ago as of writing this. Replaced by the Spark. The Sonic will always hold a spot in my heart because, while I absolutely hate the car in general, this video is something truly incredible to be done on a car

      Anthony Ivanov watch the making of videos, it explains how they did all of it. All the guitars are tuned to certain cords and the whole piano is tuned to be one note.

    • @DreaLinh
      @DreaLinh 5 років тому +7

      Anthony Ivanov all those instruments are tuned to one specific note they needed. So it doesn’t matter where it will hit it. Obviously there is some post editing and loops but it’s still impressive

    My train of thought is more like a roller coaster than an actual train, and man am I glad it is. It's 11 O clock at night I'm thinkin' "do I wanna make some toast? I do like toast... Hey remember that song with the car hitting the things to make a song? I wanna listen to that!" And that is my story.
    Now if you'll excuse me, the bread is calling me.
