On its own this would havebeen quite the statement, but… Sidney Cullinan is a compelling director and shadows theunsettling soundtrack. The video is birthed in prolonged darkness, the only light shed by glitchycomputer graphics… with shots of the 99% going about their days. As the audio disintegrates sodoes the imagery, and it’s not long before clips of the unrelenting news cycle and politicalcommentators shatter the peace. But… Max’s voice and the human instruments pierce the sonicshadows with hope and resilience. So do the scenes of humanity. This is a hell of an audio visualproduction that only really makes sense when it’s seen and heard.

Oh my goodness, stunning, scary, real, brave! Love you!

Love this. Can we have a group hug? So creative and talented and awesome.

An avant-garde high tech improvised musical + cinematic envelopment.

Fire, love and fire.

So happy this ended up in my inbox.

This is so incredible.

WOW!

A visual symphony of the modern mind… to extraordinary new heights. 2025 Alive exploresthemes of globalization and interconnectedness, highlighting people from diverse backgroundscoming together against rich and surreal backdrops. It mirrors today’s global dialogue aroundunity, identity, and cultural exchange in an increasingly connected world.

I found it was really powerful to use splashes of the visuals to emphasize what was happening in the music. In the beginning, the visuals emphasize the more unnerving parts of the music, but eventually the visual flashes highlight the humanity in the audio portion.Contrasting black space and footage, I wanted the visual component to both confuse and comfort the audience.
