Mike Patton "A Schoolgirl's Day" Music Video

FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton and Jean-Claude Vannier, who recently issued the "suave and slinky" (Consequence Of Sound) album "Corpse Flower" (Ipecac Recordings), has released the official music video for "A Schoolgirl's Day". The clip, which was created by Nino Del Padre, features footage from the 1962 low-budget classic film "Carnival Of Souls". Padre said of the pairing: "It's almost as if the film was created for this song."

A collaboration between French composer-arranger Jean-Claude Vannier (best known for his influential orchestration of Serge Gainsbourg’s classic Histoire de Melody Nelson) and Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton is something that needed to happen. I think so. The pair met in August of 2011 during the “A Tribute to Serge Gainsbourg” concert held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Patton—he of the six octave voice—was one of several notable performers—including Beck, Sean Lennon, Zola Jesus, Victoria Legrand of Beach House, Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear and Serge’s son Lulu Gainsbourg—who performed Gainsbourg’s best loved songs while the second half of the show saw a performance of Histoire de Melody Nelson with Vannier conducting the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the Cal State Fullerton chorale.


Here’s some background information about the new video from Corpse Flower from director Nino Del Padre:

“When I first listened to “A Schoolgirl’s Day,” I fell in love with the intense and ominous track. I also knew that coming up with a concept for the video would be challenging as Ipecac gave me full creative control. I spent a few days brainstorming and I had the track on loop while surfing the web for inspiration when I remembered a 1962 low-budget classic, Carnival of Souls. While watching parts of the movie with the song playing, I knew I had something that might work.

After spending some time editing a demo, I realized that this was going to work better than I thought, and I had something special. It’s almost as if the film was created for this song. The plot follows Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), a young woman whose life is disturbed after a car accident. The film has been named as a precursor to the works of various filmmakers, including David Lynch, George A. Romero, Lucrecia Martel and James Wan.”

Mark Romanek
In the early 1990's my career was inspired and motivated by music video's, directors like David Fincher and Samuel Bayer. But one director who I believe broke the mold is Mark Romanek. Along the way, the Grammy winner has been behind some of the world's most famous--and infamous--videos. On the groundbreaking side, there's Lenny Kravitz's exhilarating "Are You Gonna Go My Way," which made the musician a star in one fell swoop. On the controversial side, there's Fiona Apple's teasing "Criminal," Jay-Z's apocalyptic "99 Problems and "Nine Inch Nails' macabre "Closer," It is one of only two that the Museum of Modern Art has added to its permanent collection.
