Watch: Jon Hopkins “Sigularity” Video

Sep 19, 2018

British composer-producer Jon Hopkins has delivered one of this year’s most striking albums in Singularity. There have been a couple wonderful videos released for the tracks “Emerald Rush”, and an Apple Music exclusive for “Feel First Life”, and today Hopkins shared the video for the title track “Singularity”. He calls it “The single most epic video I’ve ever had made.” and talks about the video’s director Seb Edwards:

Seb has been a friend and collaborator for nearly 15 years now, but this is the first opportunity we’ve had to work with total freedom on a video for my own music. The power of what he has done left me speechless the first time I saw it. He translated the themes of destruction and defiance that I fed into the music into a powerful, violent ballet between male and female and I totally love it.”

Says Edwards of the project: I’ve always loved Jon’s work and we’ve been wanting to collaborate for a while. ‘Singularity’ is such an incredible track, its merciless intensity somehow reflects our troubled times. I wanted to capture the feeling of defiance that rises from the initial brutality. The track is ultimately about acceptance and finding peace in nature. I hope I did it justice.”
