SLAS the first "lyric video" for instrumental music is inspired by the video of Bob Dylan´s ”Subterranean Homesick Blues” (1965) by D. A. Pennebaker. It is known for being one of first music videos ever made. SLAS is the first hommage to this legendary video with instrumental music in it and chord notations on the cue cards. Shot entirely on Kodak Tri-X Super 8 film stock with an old Nizo 4080. Just like in the old days.
