The screen is alive with the beat of music

I have a love for the combination of images and music. This might be why I adore the last 15 minutes of Last of the Mohicans so much. There is almost no dialog, and the music and the photo is allowed to take center stage. This love might also be why I really like some music videos. Not all - but every now and again a director comes along who manges to create a personal vision which truly matches the music. Lately I've been very impressed with Danish director Martin de Thurah.


He made the video Human for the Danish band Carpark North.

He also made the video to What else is there? by the Norwegians Røyksopp.
