Off the Air (2011)

Composer/Musician Dan Deacon (Bromst, America) teams up with Director/Editor Dave Hughes (Off The Air/Adult Swim) to create a 22 minute music video odyssey that takes viewers on a skewed trip through the American landscape and beyond. The music is the four part USA suite, off Deacon's latest album America, and the visuals were culled from artists all over the world.

For this special episode, Off The Air brings together nine of their favorite animators to each animate one section of Dan Deacon's song "When I Was Done Dying" off his latest album Gliss Riffer.

Too moist to burn.

Delicious When Consumed.

The language of the body in motion speaks all languages.

Staring lovingly into the cold infinite void that will one day kill us all.

This is you. Explore your deep caverns. Consume yourself.

Everything will be ok. The natural feeling of dread.

Collect them all. Like smells for your eyeballs.

They don't only happen while you're sleeping. You're having one right now.

Brighter than a thousand digital suns.

Won thgir eno gnivah er'uoy. Gnipeels re'uoy elihw neppah ylno t'nod yeht.

Love it or leave it.

They're on to us.

This train will be making all stops between Everything and Nothing.

The tangled web we weave.

Arbitrary goals, invented glory, permanent brain damage.

Life without the hassle of living.

From here to there, but never back again.

Slippery when wet.

Straight blasting Ron.

There's one beneath you right now.

Now, new.

Watch, rinse, repeat.

You are not alone. Well, maybe a little bit. Yeah, definitely pretty much alone.

Trying to keep up with reality.

Comfort is the enemy.

The deepest connection.

The Moon is an egg.

In the flesh.

You are at the threshold.

To be eaten with a runcible spoon.

They're under your skin

Get you some.

Better than drugs.

Better than sex.

Better than sex on drugs.

Music of the gods.

Hurts so good.
