We were delighted and very touched when a friend of ours discovered
a magnificent fan-video to our song to - "EMOTION" on the internet!
Not long ago we were finally able to locate the illusive artist that created this
spectacular music-video! He reflects the song like a mirror image
by creatively splycing footage of the silent film classic METROPOLIS!
All the scenes are correspon rythmicly to the tracks's beat as well
as Lyricsal content!
Coincidentally the visions of Metropolis-like society were quite clearly
appearing in my head as soon as I started the first LINE :) ...
(I made one of those obscure references to an old time favourite Italos greats:
Doctor's Cat "ANDROMEDA" by lyrics "Machine with Human face".)
It all came together perfect...I really wanted to words to reflect the instrumental
musical composition that we finished ...
The the video by ORACLE ARION is truly reflecting the imagery that was
going through my stream of consciousness (or perhaps stream of Subconscious.)
***WE ARE PROUD TO THANK ARION FOR THIS SPLENDID VIDEO ON OUR OFFICIAL PAGE!***
We are discussing the possibilities of creating a
NON-WEB (real) VIDEO by using the exisiting material and adding footage of
HK COUNTERFEIT Vocals, synths, perhaps even a little dancing!!! :)
(all in black'n'white and styled in the Metropolis mood of course!)
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH STAGE SETS, LOCATIONS,
WARDROBE PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET US KNOW!
MOST IMPORTANTLY HERE'S THE ORIGINAL VIDEO BY ARION (below)
Arion is not the mythical ancient Greek kitharode ... You can find
