Sidewinder
Reviewed by: Angus Wolfe Murray
In the world of music video, there is no reality, only imagination.
Simon Dobson uses white, jagged, dancing sound waves across Fifties still life screens as a visual background for the rhythmic drum-and-base score. It is surprisingly inventive.
The pictures are of men and women at work. The machines, typewriters and office equipment are from another era, mostly black-and-white, but occasionally colour, as if hand painted.
Always, somewhere, the sound waves are responding to the music, which, eventually, becomes monotonous. At four minutes, it feels a little long, but never lacking in inspiration.
