Ulrich Schnauss – Einfeld
I’m a big fan of Ulrich Schnauss. A German composer from Kiel and Berlin, his music is ethereal, beautiful and always engaging. It’s difficult to find videos of his music, but he has such a strong following of fans across the globe that they create homemade videos to go along with his music. I created one of my own below.Jakatta – The Other World
A new and emerging source of artistic freedom in the “commercialized market” of music videos has been gaining popularity online. Once regarded mostly as a source of “comic relief” in popular media, sites like YouTube and Vimeo are emerging as an artistic outlet and distribution channel for musicians and video artists across the globe.
The lack of videos for many songs and the fans who love them has turned photo galleries, screensavers and personal video into reflections of what the music means to them. An example of this can be seen in this video that I found online. I love the song and was hoping for a beautiful video to go along with it. What I found is someone who loved the song as well and used their photo gallery to express it. It’s not much, but with more powerful video editing tools available to people in the future who have little experience in this medium, we will begin to see a video for every song ever written.
