I was in New York, editing a music video for a song called sorry
Its four or five years old
I showed her some of the stuff i was doing
I suggested that we should make a video remix on the song Sorry
That particular song
For her world tour
We discussed it back and forth and i
I wanted her to read the text
the text from the song
we would later remix the music
and change its meaning
changing its meaning into religion and politics
thats exactly what she was looking for
So we did the project and i made the remix with her sound guy Stuart Pryce
and made it into a
into a political statement
She obviously had had full control in the process
She was the one that would have to answer to its content
It turned out very well and she used the material on her tour
It was a three minute thing
I used the images from the sorry video
and synced those to the lyrics she had read. I had asked her to read the text in the same bpm
as the song
I synced all that together and made a three screen composition
That she used on her world tour
Like a kind of intermission
That turned out really well
After that we have continued working together
The last two summers we have worked together
Its called Get stupid, and i have been able to remix all of her songs
I have used fragments, first making an audio remix
From a whole bunch of her songs
from her latest album
and i also took lyrics from one specific song
that i changed into having a new meaning
In collaboration with Madonna of course
