Filmed in Aldgate, London, March 2021
These beautiful Cherry Blossom trees caught my attention when I was out walking. I love the colours and the way they just stood out from the environment of concrete and glass buildings. The music I made using a slide box guitar, a lovely gift from my dad and created synth sounds using GarageBand.
Cherry Blossom – Film & Music by R. A. Phillips
From my album Metropolis I have made this film for the track Calling Of The Machine. This track represents the calling of the factories from the albums story.
Metropolis is the musical soundscape of a future urban city.
With masses of the population working in factories making an endless line of products for the consumption of manufactured need, it’s only in the night when the factories are closed can the masses feel free. The city comes alive at night with the spectral sound of electric racing from old discarded American muscle cars rampage through the city, screaming with new electric life. Fashionistas parade around the streets, looking for the attention they crave while rival gangs compete for new territory. The city is ablaze with energy until the first rays of new light breaks through the night and the machine come calling once more.
