A NEW BREED: Lessons with Toro y Moi - Part 5/5
Keep it real, keep it light, and take time to experiment: these are our three lessons in creativity as instructed by Chaz Bundick. And as a world-renowned musician performing under the titles Toro Y Moi, Les Sins, and Sides of Chaz, this guy should know.
Director Liam MacRae transports us to the East shores of San Francisco Bay, where warm instrumentals evoke hazy waterside visuals. On a hike in the sunbathed hills of Berkeley, Chaz talks about the importance of honesty, his dog Michael, and nerding out on skate videos - all of which have influenced his creative manner.
With a focus on the interplay of location and sound, music and visuals, MacRae and Bundick bring the west coast heat to the rest of us. Once the music starts, you’re anywhere but here.
ABOUT A NEW BREED
Times are changing, and a new breed of artists are closing the gap on their ambitions; relieved of obstacles that were hindering a decade ago. When a musician's Soundcloud uploads turn into a world tour, and a photographer's steady Instagram following evolves into an international campaign, it's clear to see that more than ever, being a creator is synonymous with being self-made.

The Creator Class What was the song in the beginning, I love it so much.
i've watched this mini-documentary about 15 times and im not lying on this. This is so beautiful i can't stop imagine that moment when i was in the front row of his show. This is an artist that i will never forget because i see me in him. He's inspiring.
This man is a genius. Everything he said about making music for you is true. I talked to him at one of his shows and he's chill af.
What I enjoy about his philosophies most and his honesty, is that it basically guarantees he's always going to make awesome music. His motivations are pure and because of that it is something that will always last. For some reason Ive always sensed that in his music, ever since i first picked up on him just over a year ago. It comes together more now. This was a great vid that really reflected him well. Good job.

I've been a longtime fan of Chaz Bundick and it's amazing that he can branch of into different forms of art musically and in design.
Being a songwriter myself, finding myself with production and watching this, hearing his music is amazing. The chord changes on Anything in Return to the synths on What For? His music has so many feels. It's inspiring. Hopefully I get to work with him one day.

He just inspired me to be make people relate more to my music and to be me, when I make tracks. I'm excited to progress moving forward. Thank you for posting this.
He doesn't let his title of musician compartmentalize his creativity to a box of audio based art. He's an artist. Graphic design/Musician. Why be solely defined by one title? It's fucking awesome that Chaz isn't just a one dimensional person. So much talent.

What was the color grading process like for this video? The whole time I was watching it I thought it was shot with either 16mm or 35mm. Then I was astonished when I found out that it was filmed in digital. I assume that it involves around VisionColor LUTs? Or was it done completely manually? I really enjoyed the video, sensational music, filming, editing and especially the color! Toro y Moi is the man!

This is amazing. I just finished watching the newest short film on his website (and Vimeo) and decided to see if there was any other stuff that I missed on him. This got past me somehow, but nonetheless is fantastic. Love this guy. Love what he had to say about skateboarding. I used all the time when I was little and slowly fell out of it. Recently have been looking to get a board and pick up the hobby again. Gotta wait till it gets warmer out though.
that voice though. thank you.
