MUSIC VIDEO: The Cygnus Loop

Dir: Beaches of the Proud

an ambient swirl of colourful images phasing in and out of each other, this centres on the mirrored reflections and echoes of an old plasma ball, which pulses softly in time with the music.

MUSIC VIDEO: Lebanon and OFF

Dir: Megan Faye

this hand drawn animation was directed by megan faye and tells the Surreal story of a confused teddy bear who stumbles upon a strange new world full of more bears and aggressive killer robots underneath his floorboards.

MUSIC VIDEO: These Hives

Dir: Beaches of the Proud

Shot at various locations in Spain, Italy, Scotland and Australia, this somewhat international film features a series of hypnotic scenes that enlessly zoom out of each other.

MUSIC VIDEO: Waves Of Warmth

Dir: Beaches of the Proud

This video is intended purely to emphasise the peaceful and gradual variations in the music. the original track was inspired by the constant rythms of the sea, be they oceanic swells or tiny wavelets lapping against the shore. the aim was to synchronise each section of music with similar visuals, both in texture and wave tempo. Therefore, The video shifts from tiny waves making regular patterns in the ice, to regular mid sized beach waves rolling up to the shore, to gentle tides rocking back and forth, depending on the mood of the music.

MUSIC VIDEO: Inside

Dir: Beaches of the Proud

a silly little video, stitching together mobile phone footage of various examples of humorous dancing. The music has nothing in particular to do with the video, its just a vaguely dancey tune that fits.

MUSIC VIDEO: Peace under a landslide

Dir: Emile Shemilt

This, along with Midnight flies (below) were taken from a series of visuals used in some Beaches live shows, and created by Emile Shemilt and Darren McNaney. Therefore, they were not created for these specific songs, but were retrospectively exctracted from the visual reel and applied to the music that seemed to suit them best.

MUSIC VIDEO: Midnight Flies

Dir: Darren McNaney
