Making The Video
The music playing in the video is the first two and a half minutes of "Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount" by Aphex Twin. It is the 10th track in his album drukqs which was released in 2001.
The owner of the different body parts playing in the video is Sigtryggur Baldursson, a founding member of Icelandic rock band The Sugarcubes. He was shot multiple times in various positions with his torso being chopped off in post-production and replaced with a mechanical torso.
"The idea came from those little mechanical windup monkeys from the last century, the ones with the red faces. ... Thought it would be really amazing to see a 21st Century one that was drumming to something ridiculously insane like a really fast Aphex Twin track."
