Here is a track that will draw you in without you even knowing. There is also explanation of the animation frames of the video.
Ahead of the release of his ninth LP, Landscape from Memory, this Friday via Erased Tapes, Rival Consoles has shared an epic stop motion music video for “Soft Gradient Beckons“.
The video is made in collaboration with film-maker and visual artist Anthony Dickenson, who spent the last 12 months working and developing the video.
“Every frame in this film for Soft Gradient Beckons was painted by hand—a slow, tactile process that unfolded over several months. What began as a simple experiment gradually became a response to the shifting rhythms of my own life. Each image became a fragment of memory, layered and stitched together to explore rhythm, decay, and time. The result is a piece that moves with the emotional undercurrent of the track—quietly pulsing, always evolving. What starts intimately opens outwards, hinting at the full scale of the work as it takes shape in physical space.” — Anthony Dickenson
