Tom Fun Orchestra - Watchmaker

tomfun.ca
Watchmaker is a feast for the eyes and ears, mesmerizing and hypnotizing the viewer on a visual roller-coaster ride for the senses. Set to the energetic and dynamic music of The Tom Fun Orchestra, the film is a layered collage of hand drawn, painted, scratched and exposed images.
Watchmaker (L'horloger) est un délicieux festin pour la vue et l'ouïe. Fascinant et hypnotique, il vous transporte dans une aventure sensorielle époustouflante. La trame musicale du Tom Fun Orchestra est énergique et dynamique. Le film est un collage de dessins à main levée, dimages peintes, égratignées et exposées.

Coolio! I'm gonna see this at Silver Wave film fest.

Just caught this group on CBC Radio this evening--a very different sounding tune than this one, both great. The vocals on this definitely sound like he's channelling Tom Waits; the Waitster, I think, would approve. Thx.
