The whole thing is built from photos which were submitted by those of you who listen to my work, so many thanks for that, and I hope you can spot your face in there! The topic itself was a difficult one to approach, as so much popular music is written about love that it seems to have become more of an exercise in sales than anything authentic. So it’s a topic I’ve always avoided, but one that came naturally during the process of creating this album about the mind and what creates us, especially with the arrival of a new tiny person at the end of the writing period. I chatted to Kevin McGloughlin about how we could visualise the idea in a general sense, and we decided that imagery of the human face would be the way to do it. Kevin had the great idea of setting up a platform for the viewers of the video project to submit their own photos to build it from, so as to make the video a personalised, and more meaningful rendering of the love song. Then Kevin worked his magic with the photos creating a beautiful complex blending and processing of stills. Many thanks again to all of you who submitted your photos, and I recommend scanning through to find yourself in there and getting screenshot. It’s amazing how much is going on when you slow down the video to look at the individual frames too, hats off to the awesome Kevin McGloughlin once again!” – Max Cooper – – – “I am completely honoured to have worked directly with so many people for this global portrait. It was a great experience of collaboration and though some of the images are less prominent than others, each and every image was as instrumental and important as the next in creating the final piece. When Max told me about his vision for ‘Love Song’, “love of the species” I immediately had the idea to include real people and real moments in the video. We asked for submissions and images flooded in from people all over the world, and work got under way. This video is like a postcard for me. Something for all the people involved. Big thanks to all the collaborators and to Memfies who aided us in the compilation of all the initial images.” – Kevin McGloughlin www.maxcooper.net www.kevinmcgloughlin.com/
