Music News - DateMonthYear Presents a 3-Part Video Release
16 January 2016 - 0 Comments
DateMonthYear is not a band. It is a way of making music in the 21st Century.
DateMonthYear was founded by Tron Music Trustee Trevor Faville in 2003. Trevor describes the organisation as "an independent music making experience", and the current line-up features Brooke Baker, Tyler Leet and Emma Koretz.
An independent philosophy has guided DateMonthYear through four CD releases and numerous film and television placements worldwide since its formation. Faville says "The video content is defined by its legacy rather than its market placement. Artists have been instructed to make art".
DateMonthYear has collaborated with local independent film makers and will simultaneously release three music videos this month.
Film makers Elysia Koretz, Matthew Mason and Kathleen Christian were approached. They were able to select music from DateMonthYear’s back catalogue. Koretz, Mason and Christian were given creative freedom with the only limit being no band shots. Each film maker shot, edited and produced their videos which will initially be released via YouTube.
RIVER
Koretz produced a video for River. Of the film making process, she said "It’s a story of its own so it was just a matter of getting beauty on screen and a loose narrative to tie it together".

HAUNTED
Christian chose the song Haunted.
She says "This music video tells a story. To each person it will mean a different thing. What I see and what you see may be the same, they may be polar opposite. Read what you will, your reaction will tell you a lot about yourself".

GHOST1
According to Mason the music video for Ghost1is a "slightly abstract take on the song's meaning. I wanted the video to relate directly to the most repeated sentence in the song – ‘They will say you are the only one’, but still have a connection to the overall meaning."

DateMonthYear will release some new music this year but true to style, this will be done in a unique way… Keep an eye on their Facebook page for more details here…
