Big news for fans of otherworldly accordion/musical saw combos and wee folk enthusiasts: Constellation just released Elfin Saddle’s 23-minute video piece Wurld on DVD and it sounds pretty amazing. According to Constellation, Wurld involves stop-motion animation, time-lapse video, and sculpture, all centered around an installation site in the duo’s Montreal backyard, where they showcase “an historical arc of civilization from early settlement and relative harmony with nature to gradual industrialisation, mechanisation and the inevitable discontents of over-production, waste and decline.”
The DVD features the film, plus 30 minutes of previously-unreleased music from the group. You can also pick up a DVD + 10-inch vinyl package from Constellation, both of which are extremely limited (editions of 900 and 500). Check out pictures of the pretty package and stream the 30 minutes of new music here.
