Mono - Ashes In The Snow
New music video - I have filmed part of this video myself (black and white outline sections that flow through the video) and mixed and altered various images already in the public domain to make this into my own product and idea. Some of the copyright therefore belongs to the original owners. In addition to this I have filmed numerous complete video art myself - these can be seen on my channel. Enjoy.
About post-rock (from Wikipedia):
One of the most eminent post-rock locales is Montreal, where Godspeed You! Black Emperor and similar groups, including A Silver Mt. Zion, Do Make Say Think, and Fly Pan Am record on Constellation, a notable post-rock record label.[22] These groups are generally characterized by an aesthetic rooted in, among other genres, musique concrète, chamber music, and free jazz.[23]
Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Scottish group Mogwai were among some of the influential post-rock groups to continue their music career or end before the turn of the 21st century.[3][24]
[edit] 2000s post-rock
In the early 2000s, the term had started to fall out of favour.[25] It became increasingly controversial as more critics outwardly condemned its use.[3] Some of the bands for whom the term was most frequently assigned, including Cul de Sac,[26][27] Tortoise,[25] and Mogwai,[4] rejected the label. The wide range of styles covered by the term, they and others have claimed, rob it of its usefulness.[28]
Today, despite criticism of the term, post-rock has maintained its prominence. Sigur Rós, with the release of Ágætis byrjun in 1999, has become among the most popular post-rock bands of the 2000s. Their most recent album, 2008's Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, has even gained them some limited radio play and appearances on TV commercials. This can at least somewhat be attributed to a move towards simpler song structures, shorter songs, and increasing utilization of pop hooks.[29] Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think, Pelican, Sonore and Mono are some of the more popular post-rock bands of the 2000s.[30] With a few exceptions, most notably Sigur Rós, the post-rock of the 21st century has generally eliminated vocals from its repertoire.
Though it has been argued that post-rock as a movement has become obsolete,[31] post-rock bands are still emerging; Una Corda, The Void, Vessels, Talons, 65daysofstatic, Maserati, Red Sparowes, Youthmovies, Yndi Halda, Gifts From Enola, Beware of Safety, Signal Hill, Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson, Caspian, In the Wake of Giants, God Is An Astronaut, This Will Destroy You, From Monument to Masses, Port Royal, If These Trees Could Talk, Sleeping in Gethsemane, milhaven, These Oceans Are Huge, Komeda, Lounge Piranha and other such bands still maintain the fundamental principles of the genre.
