Private Project

Water on Stone

A feature length music video by David Bickley & singer songwriter Colin Vearncombe (best know under the name BLACK for his hit song from the Eighties, WONDERFUL LIFE). This is a unique production, a film driven by eight songs based on one narrative, inspired by the ancient archetypal myth of Orpheus, and his decent into the underworld. The images are forged in the manner of a silent movie by Cocteau with a suggestion of Tarkovsky, and imbued with a deep, symbolic content.
