Take a recording of a child speaking, digitize it into audio 'pixels' then rig a mechanical piano to play it back - like a mechanical Vocoder. It's like nothing you've heard before, but with subtitles you can make out what is being said.
As Rhys Darby would say, if you squint your ears, you can fool your brain into hearing a child talking.
That's some impressive stick work, right there. Great timing!
Machine Toy is from Hexstatic’s August 2000 release, REWIND (NinjaTune), which was the UK's first completely AV album. Machine Toy was created by remixing battery operated toys to create an electro track.
Here's two music videos that take early-era computer game graphics as inspiration. They are both great videos in their own way but they are almost polar opposites as far as content goes.
First up is DJ Shadow - This Time (2006)A lovely happy video, full of animals and cute characters in 8-bit quality. Awwww!Then in stark contrast we have Flairs - Truckers Delight (2009) It's funny, sexy and hella dirty and done in a kind of 16-bit graphical style that reminds me of the Sega Mega Drive.
OK so this doesn't meet any of the self-imposed criteria I set for this blog, but I had to post it anyway because it's so fantastic. I suppose it's a music video shot using a DSLR so it's kind of a mashup? No? Ah well.
Enjoy it anyway.

Here's a direct link to a BBC radio programme, which has an interview with DJ Yoda and Gabriel Prokofiev about the project.
Perhaps slightly less accessible than some other Eclectic Method stuff, but it makes up for that by the sheer number of classics sampled.
Having been a dedicated secret weapon of Bassnectar sets for many months, this little doozy is a mashup of Groove Armada's "Superstylin" with the instrumental beats from "Art of Revolution"... full on heaving crush-core dubstep with a big room hook for that nice 'blast from the past' effect!

The jam band Phish came up with a list of 99 classic albums, one of which ("Exile on Main Street") they surprised an audience by covering in its entirety at a Halloween concert in Indio, California. As an intro for the Phish performance, London-based A/V remixers Eclectic Method took audio and video bits from each of those 99 albums and collaged them together into a superb cut-up. "Eclectic Method Goes Phish"
