Lurk Music Video
This video was created as part of the Video Post-Production module. We were to source free-to-use, Creative Common video content on the Internet and create a music video for the track of our choice. I used one of my own tracks, called Lurk, from my recent EP Analogue Conspiracy, released on the Retro Reverb Records synthwave label.
The music can be described as quite atmospheric and cinematic and is representative of my interest in scoring for film and TV. The sonic and visual aesthetics of this video are rather grim and ominous, testament of my passion for horror/science-fiction literature and cinema. When composing music, I often have images in my head, influenced by the pace or mood of the song I’m working on. When working on Lurk, those were of both invisible, creeping creatures and vast, ever-expanding cityscapes. I found the parallel quite fascinating and used it as the central theme of the video.
