Gypsy & The Cat “It’s A Fine Line”
Alsatian Music, 2013
Directed by Matthew Caron
The Pieces are fading
A heart deformed by waiting
The thief of time is erasing you
Those people those faces, deep in my mind
I hear them parading me tonight.
Am I wasting time if you’re in my mind
While the moon is ripe above me
Well it’s a fine line, yea it’s a fine line
Look inside spy the clues
Candle light across the loom
The feeling comes and chases truth…
I used randomly generated data to edit this video of Caged Animals performing “Too Much Dark” for Fast Food Music Video 2: Not Knowing, Adaptability, The Unified Field. The number of the cuts and the sources were dictated by a data generating patch, leaving me with control over the timing of the cuts. I also elected to make the video monochrome.
This exercise in music video making involved applying chance operations to all aspects of a deconstructed production process. Editing was also subject to randomization in a similar fashion, based on the number of video sources recorded.

PVRE MATRIX _ HD ACID from Matthew Caron on Vimeo.
Shattered Shards– the freeform, visual collab curated by wayfaring Brooklyn souls Matthew Caron and Rebecca Gaffney– is less of a directorial excursion than a freeform video jam session. No more clearly is this seen in their spastic, claustrophobic visuals for Brooklyn’s PVRE MATRIX (a.k.a. Daniel Moore). Taken from a set at La Sala, the video is built upon on a frenetic display of glitched video feedback, whip pans around the venue, and mirrored, kaleidoscopic original footage that’s all attack and no release, a sound match for PM’s tightly coiled, tension-riddled version of industrial music. – AD HOC

I edited the video for “I Got A Knife” by Turbonegro, taken from their latest album ‘Sexual Harassment,’ produced by Matt Sweeney.
Here’s what director Andy Capper had to say:
I shot it at the Niagra Bar on 7th and A because the neon sign from the cover of the record hangs there.
That corner of New York is really significant in L.E.S hardcore / punk history and I guess it was sung about in “New York Crew” by Judge. That track is one of mine and Turbo lead singer’s Tony Sylvester’s favourite songs ever; I met Tony through hardcore about 20 years ago and we’ve been best friends ever since.

Supreme Cuts & Haleek Maul “M00N’
Directed by Andy Capper
Edited by Matthew Caron
Produced by Andre Muir
Assistant Producer Monet Lucki
“M00N” is more or less a reflection upon internal struggles, both ongoing and resolved which caused me to doubt a lot of things I was doing from relationships to school and music. After venting on that track a lot of those insecurities dissolved into nothing and I felt free from a lot of the turmoil which was haunting me. – Haleek Maul
