“Cry” by Thomas Bergersen + Detroit: Become Human

Deep inside me, I could feel something different, a gentle and warm whisper telling me that I am…alive.

Today, my muse was an android. This video was created using the song “Cry” by Thomas Bergersen and the teaser trailer for Detroit: Become Human by Quantic Dream. I wasn’t aware of this game until I went hunting for this trailer, and it led me to a fascinating story of how Detroit: Become Human came to be. First, there was this short film, which was created entirely using a video game engine. Then that led to the production of this trailer that spawned the creation of this video game. Then I found it and set it to Thomas Bergersen’s “Cry” from the album Illusions.

“In Paradisum” by Thomas Bergersen + Samsara

This is what happens when I can’t sleep because a gorgeous song and mesmerizing video are floating around in my mind. I have been obsessed with Thomas Bergersen’s album Sun, which came out exactly one year before I discovered it. And I have always considered Ron Fricke’s Baraka as one of my all-time favorite films. This video was edited together using “In Paradisum” by Thomas Bergersen and excerpts from Ron Fricke’s film Samsara, which was a follow-up to Baraka. Witness the mesmerizing Tibetan Buddhist tradition of creating and destroying mandalas made from colored sand.

“Final Frontier” by Thomas Bergersen + League of Legends: Shurima

The tragic fall of Shurima was nothing compared to the tragedy of its rise from the grave.

This was my very first mashterpiece, which has been a hobby* of mine for the past few years. At the time, I was just immersed in League of Legends because we were traveling around with Strawburry17 for our series Unlocked. It wasn’t until after I completed this video that I realized this could become a regular thing. I definitely didn’t expect it to grow into a full-blown obsession. (more…)
