Something to explore?

Tsvetkov is an animator and filmmaker who created a series of animations called Rapture. They are based on a 'pseudoscientific concept he invented about studying the dreams of soldiers of the Second World War'.

I love that most of his animations are hand-drawn, usually with materials like pencil and charcoal. He will often combine multiple seperate gifs together into one image.

Notable albums include:

Blue Lines- Massive Attack

Mezzanine- Massive Attack

Dummy- Portishead

Endtroducing- DJ Shadow

Maxinquaye- Tricky

Who Can You Trust?- Morcheeba

Becoming X- Sneaker Pimps

The Richest Man in Babylon- Thievery Corporation

Rhythm and Stealth- Leftfield

Lamb- Lamb

Psyence Fiction- UNKLE

In A Space Outta Sound- Nightmares on Wax

Do You Like My Tight Sweater- Moloko

'The songs on Blue Lines run at 'spliff' tempos; from a mellow, moonwalking 90 beats a minute down to a positively torpid 67 bpm.'

Simon Reynolds, Generation Ecstasy (1998)

'This is triphop, a deft fusion of head-nodding beats, supa-phat bass and an obsessive attention to the kind of otherworldly sounds usually found on acid house records'

Andy Pemberton, MixMag (1994)

Dub was formed out of reggae in the 1960s and 1970s. It normally consists of samples and remixes, heavy basslines, and distorted audio effects.

'The Bristol sound is Black, it's White, it's Indian, it's African. And that is where the culture of music in Bristol has grown.'

Really really love Bosco's style of animation. Fairly simple, looks like it has been drawn in pen, but I love how the images transition into one another. I really want to try and work on transitioning from one image to the next in my own animations.

'Incorporating their printwork and using it to weave textures throughout, we designed a video that tells the story of love, dancing, and letting go, with a nod to British rave culture of the ‘90s.'

Really beautiful, would love to create something with a similar magical field

The political climate at the time of Mezzanine's release was uncertain. 9/11 transformed people's thoughts on power, control, and the role of technology.

Massive Attack's 2003 album '100th Window' focuses on technological anxiety

Mass data surveillance raised new global political tensions

but what it really grasped was the potential for mass data surveillance and analytics to find, target, exploit, and keep consumer audiences, aided by the rise of social media platforms for expansive advertisement

The video is filmed in a dark, urban area, that could be anywhere. It evokes a modern cityscape that most viewers could relate to

‘In Unfinished Sympathy, continuing is something the singer both fears (there’s a sense of foreboding in those ominous orchestral strings), and also desires – she can’t help but think of “the curiousness of your potential kiss”. It’s that “potential” that’s so captured in the song.’ - Records from a Rented Room, The Guardian
