Musicians have a dismissive saying "Fix it in the mix". It means that some technical hocus-pocus, long after the recording session, can cover mistakes or improve a performance.
These two videos by Lasse Gjertsen (a Norwegian who might relate to my still unwritten autobiography "Having a Bad Hair Life"), are entirely performed "in the mix". "Hyperactive" shows Lasse singing a drum set and "Amateur" is his piano and drum duet complete with cigarette break. Very impressive, well paced and funny.
Lasse's MySpace page has more of his videos - but don't go there if you've ever contemplated suicide. I guess too much snow and darkness take their toll on creative people.
I was turned onto Lasse's videos by the blog Music Thing which has links to similar mix-fixed video. And I gotta plug my other favorite video mashup Three Piece Band by Kel McKeon still available at the blog Curved Air. Thanks!
