Spook The Horses Share 360 VR Video 'Made Shapeless'
Wellington instrument-swapping post-metal crew Spook The Horses have delved into the futuristic realm of virtual reality for their latest video ‘Made Shapeless’. Lifted from their excellent third full length offering People Used To Live Here and directed by Mex Telfer, the clip perfectly mirrors Spook The Horses’ ominous, slow-burning and foreboding sonics with gorgeous, otherworldly imagery. The band shared their thoughts on creating the video and entering into the uncharted reaches of VR territory....
"The video is centred around an abstract odyssey that presents itself in three stages, progressing and regressing through ambiguously symbolic landscapes and scenarios. This cryptic and dreamlike 360° video examines the familiar and unfamiliar ideas and memories that lurk and merge within the subconscious.
The medium of VR was a very deliberate choice, simultaneously allowing the viewer the autonomy to frame the scene as they wish, yet also presenting zero ability to influence or adjust what is there. As the viewer, you must make the choice of deliberately turning toward or away from what is hurtling toward you"
You can watch the clip with or without a headset below (we did both)...
'People Used To Live Here' is out now via Pelagic Records.
