Leftfield: Swords
Sunday, August 1st, 2010Subtle and sublime video for Leftfields Swords, one of the highlights from their 1999 LP ‘Rhythm and Stealth’…
It seems like a brave move allowing the audio to shift back and forth behind the dialogue in each scene but the result here is great.
After the huge success of their first album ‘Leftism’ I remember some of the material from this follow up LP being delivered alongside pretty dramatic visuals like the Afrika Shox video by Chris Cunningham and the Guiness advert featuring Phat Planet. I’m not sure this video achieved such a high profile but in my mind it’s the perfect delivery for the track… different people in different places, each getting down with their own vibe.
Now go find yourself a copy without the dialogue and turn it up loud for that break around the 3.30 mark.

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Created during 5 days in February 2010 with students at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark.
1923 (aka Heaven) is one of two animation loops directed by Max Hattler, inspired by the work of French outsider artist Augustin Lesage (1876-1954). 1923 is based on Lesage’s painting A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World 1923.
The second animation loop, 1925 (aka Hell) is based on Lesage’s painting from two years later A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World 1925.
