Making Music - The Black Seeds

Short Film (Full Length) – 2005

Wellington funk, soul, reggae act The Black Seeds manage to cram themselves into a single shot for this episode from a series made for secondary school music students. Bookended by stripped back performances of 'Keep on Pushing' and 'Going Back Home', they explain the development of these songs from their origins as bass grooves. Mike Fabulous has cautionary words for aspiring songwriters about the dangers of overcomplicated song structures while Barnaby Weir reassuringly suggests that virtuosity is not an absolute prerequisite for being in the band.

 

 

You just need good ideas so don’t forget that you don’t need to be Mozart to write a good tune.
– Black Seeds frontman Barnaby Weir
