Who Killed Davey Moore - my new animated music video for Colin Munroe

Colin Munroe - Who Killed Davey Moore from josh lyon on Vimeo.

A full length animated music video for Colin Munroe's masterful re-vox of Bob Dylan's Who Killed Davey Moore.



This has been a labour of love for the past (sleepless) month of my life... I used to play bass in Colin's band and have since followed his trajectory as his musical works (which was already great) just keep getting better and better! And more and more people seem to be catching on too...



And then his manager asked me if I had interest in visually interpreting Colin's interpretation of this Bob Dylan song about a boxer... he threw a couple of ideas my way and I spent the next month or so cutting paper, shooting, animating, compositing, refining, etc. into what you see before you.



phew.

This one's for Jonny

Aerotone is a fantastic online record label - all beautiful ambient and almost all free! Some of my favourite music is stuff I found here and they don't seem to want much in exchange.

Le Mepris is currently blowing my little feeble mind...

(It's for Jonny as I figure this would make a sweet 'worship trick'... I should prob. pass it his way... )

Entire Cities' Deep River - Now Available!

Listen to this post!

Entire Cities' Deep River is now available! You can even get it online at Zunior.com.

"Really, I can't find anything wrong with this record, and more importantly, I don't want to. It's a great showcase of a lesser known Canadian band doing all the right things. They are trying new things, without ever drifting too far into the experimental sounds that often bog down these type of records." - Read the full review at Herohill.com

"...albums this amazing/wonderful/superb/
whatever-other-positive-adjective-you'd-ever-want-to-affix-to-an-album don't come around very often, and I sincerely hope that in a decade I'll still be able to appreciate something that strikes me as deeply as this one does." - i (heart) music
