gilli moon takes us on a quirky, arty journey in her new music
video, "The Stillness", which showcases her single "The
Stillness", from the album, of the same name "the stillness".
Recorded in Los Angeles (directed by My Record Label Video's Graham
Daseler), including some footage from Fryman Canyon,
one of gilli's favorite L.A places that reminds her of her home in
Australia on a mountain top, "The Stillness" music video also
features, as in the song, spoken word artist
J.Walker as
gilli's higher self.
gilli has been focused on a theme in her artistry since college
years, surrounding the notion of us all having various personalities
within ourselves, and we choose to wear the masks we wear at
appropriate times. Like an Art Video she made at the age of 19
called "Shadows", this new Music Video similarly encompasses Carl
Jung-like themes about our inner shadows/demons and fears, versus
the social joys and wants we reveal to the world. Hence, the video
shows gilli moon's face half lit in dark and other in light, like a
Rembrandt painting, portraying our inner self and our outer self;
and spiritually speaking, our lower self, with our Higher Self (the
all knowing). The song speaks of wanting to break out of one's shell
and fears, and run in the deepest oceans and not be afraid.
"I'm an enigma in my own living room / Can't seem to get my tongue
to hit the words I want to say and everything I feel, all that I am
I throw out ... naked / I'm yearning for the outcome of my days / To
caress my childhood fairytales / so tormented inside I stand and
wait"
We just
wrapped up editing a brand new music video. #1 music video for gilli moon’s
2010 (6th) album, “the stillness” this music video is for the song featured
on the album, “Days In November”. Performed and shot in South Park Colorado
(by David Harvey) while performing at a festival out there with her band
mates Andy Catt and Shawn Cunnane, as well as landscapes from the tour bus
going through Fargo, North Dakota, and through the Canadian Rockies, when
Ms. Moon was on tour with Eric Idle (Monty Python) a few years back, the
footage is now all bundled up in a tight music video edited by Matt
Thorne. The video is about life on the road, especially as a touring
artist, going from one town to the next, and "sending back postcards of
lessons" one finds along the way. It's also about love, and dreaming of a
time of joy and wanting to find that again. This song speaks of enjoying the
journey, and looking towards tomorrow as a time of hope for all of us. The
video uses the seasons (especially Fall/Winter) and the countryside,
particularly gilli moon's new love for the US and Canadian landscapes that
she has travelled many times now on tour. Shots from the tour bus, or beside
the road emphasizes "the journey" and the very fact that in life.... we are
always moving.....
Making "the stillness" Album - in the
studio with gilli moon
gilli moon's 6th album, "the
stillness" was a lot of fun to make. Step inside the studio in Burbank,
California, to witness gilli moon and her players (Andy Catt on bass, Shawn
Cunnane on guitar, Frank Musarra on drums, Little Sista on backing vocals
and Matt Thorne, co-producer, engineer and bass) record the songs for her
album. It's intimate, it's real, it's musical, it's raw.
