A handful of whispering fans sat in a polite little semi-circle on the studio floor, as the unassuming Owen Pallett, bka Final Fantasy, entered the room and picked up his violin. The audience -who earned their pass to the private session via twitter- sat fascinated by Owen’s presence and proximity, wondering if just he and guitarist, Thomas, could create the whimsical, orchestral swells that made Final Fantasy soar. But, as they had hoped, a symphony emerged from the hands of just these two, and we shed our wonderment to bask in pure fascination.
And the fantasy continues, with the video for ‘Midnight Directives’ after the jump

wow, this is a pretty awesome video. the wiry mr. pallett has got a sort of andrew bird freakiness to him, and the music is as quirky, but more technical… which i like. thanks for putting this up–i’m going to get some of these guys’ music as soon as i’m not broke.
