Now you’ve had a chance to enjoy Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 … we’re definitely rounding the bend of the old candy cane here, and approaching the fifth and final movement of our 2015 music videos for our composed-in-1994-remastered-in-2014 Christmas music disk The Bells of Yule.
The thing about these music videos, you may have noticed, is that they draw on period textmode visuals from the ‘90s computer art scene to illustrate what the sights would have been when the sounds were also like this. Helps to establish the context for an overall computer art milieu, if you will. Every video has had its own themes for the visuals – finally here in part 4 we begin exploring longer-form works of wintry ANSI art from the computer art underground – less ancient history, however much most of it may still be ancient history … just, y'know, less ancient. At this point, some of the pieces may even date to last year or even last week! But regardless of the actual age of the pieces, they still reflect an antiquated art practice. You can still find people weaving tapestries and smithing horseshoes, but … y'know, historical re-enactment in the present doens’t cease to be historical just because it manifests now.
This concludes our confused pseudo-philosophical digression into the nature of time. Now enjoy our music video and stay tuned for the final movement tomorrow, just in time for Christmas Eve! Merry Mist'mas – share and enjoy!
