[Video] IKONS – Slow Light

-

SRVC have unveiled their latest signing: IKONS. You can watch their haunting the video for their launch track ‘Slow Light’ below.

The director of the video, a Mr. Patrik Johansson, had this to say:

The inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures. The themes of 17th century vanitas paintings (where symbols of art, science and earthly pleasures are put against symbols of death) are as timely as ever in this age of decadence. I give you a vanitas for the 21st century, created by video-projections on threedimensional objects. A still-life painted white in a darkened room brought to life by a technique sometimes called ”video-mapping”, meaning I have mapped the video-projections to fit the actual objects. Before the objects were painted white they were photographed, then animations were based on the photographs and projected back onto the objects and filmed.

Nice.

The self-titled debut album will be released on SRVC in January 2010.
