DESCRIPTION:
What happens when you combine two elements randomly - does one confer meaning to the other? This is a random clip using music from Jen Clohen and The Endless Sea, a sensational Melbourne band (album Dead Wood Falls available on iTunes) and footage from Nasa of a booster rocket detaching from the space shuttle and spiraling back to the earth's ocean. The mash seems planned, but in fact it was entirely serendipitous. Though I had met Jen via my friend Monique Rhodes, also a talented musician (album Awakening available on iTunes), I had never heard her music. She appeared on the right hand column of my facebook account and looked familiar - the links led me to the album and I bought it as a self gift for my birthday.
I opened the Nasa footage in iMovie, thinking it was something else. The music was playing in the background and the two seemed to have fallen in love with one another.
What do you think? Could a 'shoot' have been planned more precisely to match?
