Fifth and final video for another track from my new album, but I will be compiling them into a longer video soon so they are all in one place

This track is made on a vintage Roland SH5 (with special modular breakout-box), plus a modified Roland System 100. These are the best sounding Rolands ever made in my opinion - stuffed full of beautiful discrete early '70s circuits, before they started making their own proprietary sound chips. I also used a series of looper modules to construct the music in real time

This video pays homage to yet another of my favourite science fiction illustrators Chris Foss, a British artist who, along with others in this series, worked on designs for the original Alien movie, as well as, amazingly, the spacecraft in Guardians of the Galaxy. He also designed loads of classic sci-fi book covers and art, even though he never read much sci-fi as apparently he didn't like it as a genre!

I have tried to bring his work to life in my own way by putting some of his images through the Memetune VideoLab. For more info about how I work in the VideoLab, check out my Memetune Programme series which ends each episode with a special VideoLab section where I go through the various processes I use (there are 18 episodes in total)

Enjoy!"
