There is only a little over a month until our next concert, and even though I am in full swing with the preparations, I would like to dwell a little on last year's concert in Brønshøj Vandtårn. The concert marked - for me - the end of the 'Thaw' project, which were songs of a more moody nature. The concert in the water tower was released on vinyl in December and can be purchased at the merchandise booth at my concerts. Now I have also cut a 45-minute film from the concert, which I have been very doubtful about showing.
Filming a highly immersive multimedia show using cameras fixed on tripods significantly compromises the experience. The static nature of these setups limits the camera's ability to follow the action dynamically or convey the full scale of the environment with elements flattened or lost entirely when viewed through a fixed lens. The result is a film that feels distant and constrained, unable to communicate the energy, scale, or emotional impact of being physically present.
Despite this, I have chosen to release the film, because when compared to more successful concert recordings such as the concert in Thingbæk Kalkmine or at Hosek Contemporary in Berlin, I think the scope of Brønshøj Vandtårn can be sensed.
Enjoy!
