In less than two weeks time, it will be midsummer, and I will be at Steampunk Doncaster 2014 - Tiffin in the Park, for a weekend of fun and frivolities.
As revealed a few weeks ago, Crimson Clocks will not only be playing on the evening of Saturday 21st June as part of the event, we will also be recording a video! Or more to the point, as discussed in my earlier blog, you will! We hope.
Since it will be the longest day, it makes perfect sense that we have elected Shadow as the track we want to video. In Shadow, I sing about needing to develop a darker, more malevolent side - building a new shadow, because mine's not big enough. Think about using a potion to unleash your inner Mr Hyde, building your very own Frankenstein's monster, or unleashing a deadly virus that changes everything... and once you've immersed yourself in your inner darkness, we'd like you to use your mobile phones, videos, cameras, whatever you have to hand to capture footage of us playing the song, and of you listening to it, in your best full-on shadow mode. Then please send your clip to us via CrimsonClocks@CrimsonClocks.com, and we will stitch them all together to the original tune (so don't worry about capturing sound!), casting a shadow over allll of.
And voila! You - or your darker shadow - get to appear in - and film - our video! What could be better?
To get you in the mood, you can read the full lyrics to Shadow below, and of course you can listen to it - and purchase the download if you're so inclined - via our bandcamp page.

Don't forget, you can also catch Steven C. Davis and I during both days of Steampunk Doncaster with book readings and our infamous Hobbit: Steampunked workshop. And if you can't wait til then, you can also hear a few readings on the three hour GASP radio special of Tuesday 10th June (repeated Saturday 14th). We'll see you - and your shadow - soon...
