“on.” episode two – BrotherBear

August 25, 2009 by npoppe

Welcome to the second episode of The Daily O’Collegian’s “on.”

This episode features BrotherBear, a Mayola side project from Stillwater, who made a trip onto campus to perform two experimental, electronic songs.

Filming BrotherBear was experimental for the “on.” crew too. It was the first time videographer Steven Hopkins and I tried filming electronic instruments and in the evening. We attempted to capture what is known as magic hour. I think we got pretty close to it. If anything, we captured the sound of cicadas and the ringing of the Edmon Low Library bell tower. A nice touch.

Watching BrotherBear sitting on the grass of OSU’s Library Lawn was like sifting through the bits and pieces of a dream after quickly waking up from one. Give them a listen.

Also, come back here or here every Wednesday for a new episode.
