les concerts à emporter = an unusual audio/visual experience!

if you enjoy all sorts of music and you haven’t heard of paris based la blogothèque’s Les Concerts à Emporter series of music films, then you’ve seriously been living under a rock! originated by christophe abric, also known as chryde (twitter @chryde) and initially directed by independent filmmaker vincent moon, who did the first 100 or so episodes, les concerts à emporter, also known as “take-away shows” are simply put, a series of short films showcasing the music of band or artist in a not-so-typical live setting.

with a vimeo page that is now nearing 400 clips, the take-away shows kicked off with an episode by the spinto band back in 2006. it has since played host to a variety of up-and-coming and fully established indie acts, such as likke li, vampire weekend, aloe blacc, and arcade fire, just to name a few.
