About the Video
A combined study in Concrete, Brutalism, Photography, Typography and Sheffield’s rich Electronic Music History.

Inspired by photos of Sheffield and the psychogeographical nature of the surrounding environment and moments in time captured by Martin Dust, inspired by their music and photography amoeba combined creative bespoke parametric typography, ai and machine learning with real-time motion graphics to create a unique glimpse into one familiar yet strange Brutal reality we all see a version of everyday

Reflecting the brutalist history of Sheffield, set to the music of The BlackDog. The film was initially made for the My Brutal Life Installation at Moore Street Power station, now utilised here with the captured impulse response reverb of the power station’s interior and evolving in live AV sets with the electronic act.

AV Collaboration With Amoeba Design

We’ve been working with Amoeba Design (http://www.theestateovcreation.co.uk) on some new visuals for upcoming live events and our new album, Music For Photographers. Using Martin’s photography as a start point, the results have created something quite unique that we wouldn’t have come up with by ourselves.
