The Bran Flakes are an “experimental music project employing a variety of found samples and sounds”. You can also call their output sound collage, high-concept sampling, mighty fine mashup, or sweet musical melting pot. The primary members are Otis Fodder and Mildred Pitt. (I used to know Otis Fodder’s real name, but I have completely forgotten it, so it shall remain a secret!)

These days, they are also producing odd animated videos to promote their new release I Have Hands (out and about February 24th.) The short above goes along with the song “Do You Want Salad With Your Taco?” Animation by Susan DeLint aka Plogo aka probably-some-other-amazing-pseudonyms.

Here’s a second colorful and trippy one called “What’s It All About?” (by Mildred Pitt).

For all their vids, past and present, see their YouTube page.
