EDITING AT THE SPEED OF ZZ: There is no way the video for “A Quickening/Steiner In Ellipses” (link in comments) would feel the way it does - fast, frenetic, funny bits flying a mile a minute - if it wasn’t for the amazing job ZZ Satriani did in editing the whole thing. 1/x

I became a fan of his work when I saw how his tour documentary “Beyond The Supernova” for his father @chickenfootjoe (instrumental rock guitarist, maybe you heard of him?). Surreal & beautiful in slower shots, but in other moments supercharged, like you were being propelled. 2/x

Then I saw his 2018 web series “Act Natural: The Untold Story Of The Natural Actor”. I just couldn’t believe how funny and awesome it was. It moved at a completely different speed than I grew up on: hyper, dizzying, outrageous, and again, surreal. https://zzsatriani.blog/web-series/ 

When I came up with the new vid concept, I always imagined it moving quickly. But I couldn’t have seen it crackling the way it does, and that’s because of ZZ Satriani’s absolutely masterful job in editing - including creating the on-screen comments and flying emoji’s as well. 4/x

We shot about 120 usable clips in total, loaded them into Adobe Premiere Pro, and handed it off to ZZ. Two weeks later, he handed this back, in nearly final form. Incredible work.
