Words/Music: Philip Seibel (Leddrain) www.leddrain.net The video itself is a look at ageism and how it affects the most vulnerable, the young and the old. Yet both could offer so much more than Society is prepared to imagine.
The scratchy, rawness of Nature and the tenacity of Human is a feature of the history of Iceland. The apparent serenity of Iceland scenery is tempered by a sharp reminder of the adolescence of the land as it gradually evolves. It might seem a slow process to us, but Nature is urgently intent on the task.
This Leddrain song deals with the dark issue of suicide and its waste of future possibility. Life is a gift that offers good and bad, but you have to see out the ride to find out which is which.
"Burn", a song written and performed by Philip Seibel supplies a sharply contrasting background to this Peter tricker video. Art is a thing that works best with extremes. It is a quest to enliven profound thoughts and ideas in the individual who encounters it. Art should look at our smallest thoughts - and make them big for awhile.
A kind of offbeat, avant garde video for this Philip seibel song.
