      That's Gondry at his most Gondryesque. There are connected themes in some of his other music videos: The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar this video The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be [LINK] Daft Punk - Around The World [LINK] The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button - [LINK]

    2. @KimitriFeb 2021· in “Cab Ride: Drive a train, forever, through a dreamlike land”

      Reminds me of the music video for Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers: this video The game looks really beautiful and I would not have guessed it’s running on Pico-8. Wonderful!

    3. @monocasaMay 2017· in “Music video showcasing procedurally generated graphics [video]”

      Neat. Reminds me of Star Guitar's music video, which I assume was just done by hand in After Effects or something. this video
