Products of the Universe with Marsha Tanley
On the eve of the release of Vide Noir, an official YouTube account was broadcast. It was made on the principle of a shopping store (a man comes to the presenter, offering the audience his "space" goods). Between their dialogs, cuts are inserted into the video with a group who are performing their new music from the Vide Noir album. Also in the video, perhaps, new music is noticeable, which is periodically played in the form of small fragments of the video, in which fragments from the movie "Vide Noir" are presented.
