Song Analysis: Nelumbo and Tielsie

This track by Tielsie is very energetic and upbeat. 

The start of the track builds up layer by layer, starting fairly calmly and progressing to a much more hectic atmosphere, I think the visuals should reflect this graduation, into an almost over whelming chaos. From 0:25 I can imagine visuals to the song gradually getting brighter or more colourful up to 0:42-0:48 where the visuals should black out and should come back with a quick attack and a hectic nature, I have an idea of up to this point there should be no people of actors in the video. This would be fairly symbolic of the start of the universe and the birth of civilisation. With the song being very busy and built up, I feel its quite symbolic of the civilisation of humans cycle of destruction and creation. 

With the high pitched synth melody from 1:00 I think a strong rapid lighting effect should be used to enhance the harshness and contrast of the melody. Similar to the rapid rhythm at 1:34.


From 1:49 the imagery I get is strobe lights or stop motion to the beat of the music, with more hectic and destructive imagery, up until 2:11. This sequence could represent the fall and extinction of civilisation. This narrative would be portrayed in a very abstract way, similar the the way Kanda and Fafi weave epic narratives into their videos


 
The second song I have chosen to possibly use for my music video is by Nelumbo, a young music producer living in Brighton. The track skies has a fairly laid back and airy atmosphere, to it due to the icy synthesisers and distant vocal samples. The the track makes me think of colourful abstract imagery. This imagery would reflect the beats, rhythms, and harmonies of the track. This track will be used if there are any complications with the track by Telsie.
