Nicolas Godin "Bach Off" (Colin Solal Cardo, dir.)

A woman with a briefcase, an empty airport hall at night and a band playing a song. Is "Bach Off" the original soundtrack of a spy movie, or a movie that is born around an incredible song ? At the end of this 8 minutes long steadycam ride on the edge of film, live performance and music video, you'll probably agree that it's a little bit of both...

A Take Away Show with Jack White (Colin Solal Cardo, dir.)

Jack White x La Blogotheque is a perfect philosophical match. On one hand you have a noted analog advocate, and on the other you have a video team that specializes in organically capturing sound and vision in organic spaces. Here we find outselves as the Saint-Saturnin Chapel, Fontainebleau Castle, for a combo performance of the White Stripes "Same Boy You've Always Known" and new solo track "Entitlement," taking us from the inside to the outside.

Phoenix "Entertainment [A Takeaway Show]" (Colin Solal Cardo, dir.)

La Blogoteque's Take Away Shows remains the definitive web music series thanks to a groundbreaking style that placed off-the-cuff performances, sometimes with improvised instruments, but always in non-traditional venues for an effect that captures the elements of spontaneity and discovery that are usually lacking in most filmed music performances.

Phoenix return to the series — a fitting match, with both entities hailing from France, and tying in nicely with the band's previously released Homemade version. This time they're actually at Versailles. And drones are involved.

Lianne La Havas "Gone" (Colin Solal Cardo, Dir.)

Lianne La Havas - Gone (Official Video)

Director Colin Solal Cardo hails from La Blogoteque, which specializes in performance videos that truly capture the sense of discovery and surprise that usually gets lost in translation when music hits film. "Gone" is more of a narrative clip, but there's still plenty of mystery and magic as you need to stay tuned until the end to figure out what's happened to the lovely Lianne La Havas.
