I just watched Ben Meyers' 'Empty School' about 15 minutes ago, and I can honestly say I am hooked. This music in this video is so original and entrancing I don't think my feeble mind can handle it.
Ben Meyers' 'Empty School' was created using a Cannon 7D, a few microphones, and an extremely empty school. Ben plays everything in this video: the lockers, handrails, piano, and even the gym equipment. I could rave about this video all day if you let me, but I think it'd be better if you just watched it yourself.
