An early foray into music videos having set myself the challenge of creating something simple based on footage I had (shot on a train journey down from Seattle to Portland) combined with free clips I sourced from various online libraries. Its pretty budget in that regard but there is a reason: I’m interested in how things we interpret footage differently when we put match unlikely imagery and sound they seem to come together in a new way that holds my attention much like VJ might.

The backbone and most crucial aspect of this video is the fantastic track by Jon Hopkins 'Open Eye Signal' from the Mercury nominated album ‘Immunity’ released in 2013 by Domino Records. When I first heard it, I felt totally captured by it and it has inspired me to put something to it. I remember (some of) my early 20’s and seeing imagery projected onto the side of a warehouse at raves, or against a nightclub wall as we danced - ‘letting go’ and this is an idea very much inspired by those times. I always loved the experimental, lo-fi approach those times had and was often impressed by how effective they were despite their simplicity.
