Return from Philip Clemo on Vimeo.
You can now view Return, shot in northern Norway and England. This short film explores impermanence and transformation. The music is the piece ‘Breath’ from the Mesmer album.
I was loaned a 360º lens to capture full panoramas when I was filming in Norway recently. Developed by Christian Murray at Panoaction this technology was new to me and was an experiment, supplementary to my core filming kit.
With the set up I had (the Panoaction lens attached to one of my camera lenses) I never quite managed to conquer the focus on this lens but you get a sense of what I was up to in northern Norway. You can see both 360º video clips on my Vimeo page. Look out for some high res material from my main cameras soon.
You can now buy Mesmer on iTunes. Sorry for the delay
You can now view a new film, The Mesmer vignettes, on the FILM page. It is a companion piece to the new album.
[A] set of dynamic musical textures… the cumulative effect of Clemo’s carefully constructed snippets and wraiths is both hypnotic and pleasantly otherworldly.
Mike Hobart, The Financial Times, UK
A stellar ensemble of musicians
Max Rienhardt, Late Junction, BBC Radio 3
[Clemo] approaches music in a very different way. There is room to move around in within this music… it invites the listener to approach it rather than rushing out to meet him or her. It is is an absorbing and increasingly intriguing away-day from all that stuff with a regular beat and swing and guys playing modes on saxophones and pianists finding new ways to crunch blues chords. Do give it a go.
Peter Bacon, Jazz Breakfast
You can now listen to segments from Mesmer ahead of its release on Monday 1st October.
