Monkey Drummer (2001)

Curiosidades

Monkey Drummer is a 2.5-minute-long music video created by British music video director Chris Cunningham in 2001. It features music by Aphex Twin.

Production

The owner of the different body parts playing in the video is Sigtryggur Baldursson, a founding member of Icelandic rock band The Sugarcubes, and a retired member of the band Kukl. He was shot multiple times in various positions with his torso being removed in post-production and replaced with a mechanical torso.

"The idea came from those little mechanical windup monkeys from the last century, the ones with the red faces. ... Thought it would be really amazing to see a 21st Century one that was drumming to something ridiculously insane like a really fast Aphex Twin track."

Head puppetry was performed by Paul "Slash" Morris and Justin Flack.
