Ed MTV: Frontrunning Len Lye Revisited

Aussie indie music treasure, ex-punk and co-founder of the Saints, Ed Kuepper, has written music for six short films made by legendary NZ conceptual artist Len Lye over 50 years ago. Lye was setting music to film (or vice versa) well before the advent of MTV, and Kuepper’s revisiting of his work is a testament to its continuing power to move and inspire. “As Kuepper says, it’s a shame Lye is no longer around. If he were, Lye could return the favour by making film clips for Kuepper’s new songs.”
