Riding Day
2023
The music video for Black Taffy's Riding Day is a loving nod to British experimental filmmaker Malcom Le Grice's 1970 film Berlin Horse, an iconic work of Structural/Materialist filmmaking that featured a soundtrack by Brian Eno. Like that film, this film is an exploration of the material qualities of celluloid film in ways that are analogous to gestures in electronic music. Just as Black Taffy has sampled and reworked the soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to create a new musical composition, this film samples and reworks images from its sequel Tears of the Kingdom, translating the interactive game world into a physical form. Similar to the way Eno's tape loops fall in and out of sync with one another, the images of Link's horse are made into loops that superimpose positive on top of negative and allow them to drift away from each other.
