Portuguese outfit Memória de Peixe, or Fish Memory, is a gem not to be missed in the music world. This two-man instrumental band, consisting of maverick musicians Miguel Nicolau and Marco Franco, has been carving out a sound that's uniquely their own since 2012, redefining the idea of what it means to be a band in the digital age. Being a largely instrumental act, Memória de Peixe relies heavily on the visual aspect of their music, making their music videos an essential part of their creative potential.
Their music videos, in particular, are an artistic endeavor that stands out in the saturated market. Their visually captivating video for "Lime," directed by Pedro Serrazina, follows the journey of a lonely, bright green lime zipping through a monochrome cityscape. The standout part of this particular creation is not just the captivating storyline, but the fact that the entire video was shot using just a single piece of lime fruit for a modified zoetrope, an early form of animation device. Meanwhile, their stop-motion video for "7/4" is a marvel of creativity and coordination, bringing to life the rhythms and moods of the track through mundane objects and settings. This ability to put mundane objects into new light, breathing life into unexpected corners of the world, is what places Memória de Peixe within a class of its own, not just as a musical act but as a solid presence in video artistry.
An amusing yet compelling piece of trivia about this band is their penchant for unusual solutions. With only two members, you would think they are limited in their live performances without a full band. But Memória de Peixe has an interesting solution: augmented reality application where an animated drumset plays a significant role. Talk about marching to the beat of their own virtual drum! It is this innovative spirit that stubbornly warms itself up to the ears and hearts of their listeners making them unforgettable in the music industry.
