Frank expected nothing short of perfection from his musicians (he reportedly made drummer Vinnie Colaiuta sight read 'The Black Page' during an audition), and Bozzio upheld that challenge long after the composer's death.īill Kreutzmann (left) and Mickey Hart drumming in 1981. To play this in the studio is one thing but to play this live - like this performance from a Zappa Plays Zappa show circa 2008 - is a completely different challenge. But Bozzio handles the odd time signatures with ease and nails every single one of Zappa's zany percussive runs.

The way that Frank wrote many of the piece's phrases is untraditional and results in some bizarre rhythms. This is not an improvisational feat rather a demonstration of complete mastery.

Somehow, this movie felt different to me, and ever since I wanted to know why. Being a small city, in a small country, there isn’t really an established film industry here, so partly out of necessity and partly due to a broad curiosity about all things visual I’ve been wearing a lot of different hats professionally. I do commercial and artistic work as a photographer, director, cinematographer, VFX artist, designer and also work in outside broadcasting as producer, technical operation manager and camera operator. My main interests are directing and cinematography. I was approached by Datarock-frontman Fredrik Saroea about doing a campaign consisting of stills, motion clips, two shorts (the prequels) and a music video. He liked some of my previous work and thought I would be a good match for creating visuals for the release of their comeback album ‘Face the Brutality’. The band wanted to emphasize them going in a slightly more serious direction musically, so their trademark red tracksuits were to be replaced by black ones, and the general feel was to be quite dark. Fredrik also mentioned the Venom suit from Spider-Man, a reference that is quite apparent in the shorts and the video. Another premise for the music video was that artist Dolk’s work ‘Low Key’, (a ripped up Lamborghini Gallardo exhibited at Aros art museum in Aarhus, Denmark) was to somehow be included in the work. Founding member Ketil Mosnes aka Ket-Ill had just re-joined the band after a few years hiatus, and we figured it would be fun to make a point of this in the video.

Other than that, I was fairly free to do what I wanted, albeit on a very limited budget. Therefore I opted to do it all as a one-man crew, with small set-ups and sneakers on my feet, so that I could literally run through the shot-lists. For two of the locations I had the help of gaffer Poul Iversen, but other than that I was on my own. The band members, however, were very helpful and served as impromptu crew on set when needed. Also, they were very willing to go the extra mile artistically, as exhibited by drummer Øyvind Solheim, who had his hair bleached a rather unbecomingly yellow, to become a bond villain of sorts (that may or may not have been inspired by a certain follicly ‘experimental’ president).
