Murray Lake - Is This Goodbye Ft: Jamie Lidell

Art Direction And Colour Grade

In late 2017 I got the chance to collaborate with a good friend and incredibly talented artist Murray Lake.  Murray's story as an artist is one that I love to recount and one that I am really happy to be a part of. After training as a carpenter Murray turned his attention to music and quickly became one of Sydney's best DJ's . Quietly in the background he was collecting gear, teaching himself to play music and produce. In recent years he moved from his home studio to a custom build studio he built himself that would became Sentir Studio. The room is modelled off one of his Idols, Philippe Zdar, Motorbass studio. Perfectly acoustically treated and custom designed for Murray's needs, Sentir Studio is an extension of himself and his home away from home. 

Whilst working in Sentir Studio Murray has written music with the likes of Aeroplane, MK, Freddie Gibbs and Anderson Paak, to name a few. And in 2017 he was set to release his first single featuring the wonderful Jamie Lidell.  Along with releasing his first single Murray wanted this release to be the first official release for his new record label Sentir Sounds and needed to create a promotional video to help get the word out.

We teamed up and set out to create a video that would introduce Murray and Sentir Sounds to the world. With DFA and Warp Records being two major influences for Murray and the direction of his label we wanted to emulate the tone of those labels whilst showing Murray work through his creative process. We enlisted the talented Nick Alexander to shot Murray in his studio. My contribution to the project was primarily Art DIrection and Colour Grading whilst also having input into the early video editing stages and the development of the Single Artwork.  

It was great fun working with Murray and I can't wait to see what he gets up to in 2018!
