6 months ago I was listening to this track and crying, and while doing so spoke to my partner just after midnight on the morning of 17th August 2024. That was the last time I spoke to him alive. The mashup was about him, so it comes full circle. So...to mark that anniversary it seemed appropriate to make a video for the mashup, but with a difference. There is no live footage of Fleetwood Mac performing Crystal, as far as I know it's never been performed live by the group, only as Buckingham Nicks. So inspired by the videos for Sebastian Tellier's La Ritournelle and Nick Drake's River Man, I decided to take the photos I have of John and animate them in place of that footage. As you can tell by the warning - yes strobes and dead bodies, so please be aware I am not joking about either - this is not a normal tribute video, although it might start out that way. Love to Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) whose song Barely Lit Path - a seeming musing on existence and lack of communication means so much to me. And Fleetwood Mac especially Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who Crystal says everything about love I could possibly say. 27 years in one video...I hope it makes sense. Lots of tears while making this, but I finished and then had a complete meltdown. I struggle as an artist to make work about this because I don't know if it makes it better or makes it worse? But I trust in the process, that making it and expressing it, is better than holding it in. Tim Download mashup: https://remix.audio/track/65035/tbc-a...
