Stephen Mallinder: Hush
“This is us but far away – Electrifies – Alpha waves…”
The animated music video for Hush embraces the contrasts of the song’s lyrical and aural aesthetics – combining simulations of tactile presentation with all the inherent digital contradictions. Lively hand-drawn splashes of acid hues highlight an eclectic array of stop-motion animated elements – salvaged vintage objects, toys and musical instruments – intercut with animated lip synch. The animation’s multiple processes involved thousands of hand-crafted collages on individual sheets of black paper.

Tulipomania's creations have been categorized as ‘cult synth punk,' ‘glam-leaning,' ‘postpunk,' and ' ‘art-rock'. While they enjoy deciphering efforts to categorize their aesthetic, Tom Murray and Cheryl Gelover decline to offer a specific label of their own.
Tulipomania are thrilled to have created two animated music videos for Cabaret Voltaire co-founder/frontman Stephen Mallinder – an iconic electronic musical artist whom they have long admired. Both videos were created in support of Mallinder's second solo release, "tick tick tick".
