Premiere: Dorisburg - Mantis90

Over the last two years, The Black Dog have photographed their home town and the brutal architecture that sits within. This album of ambient, experimental and down-tempo work was originally conceived as an aid for the creative process but ultimately provides a soundtrack to the artworks.

We've always worked apart. For us, it's nothing new. Large online servers have been in place for years but at some stage, we always meet up while working on an album to pour over the details, tone and running order.

We create storyboards and write text to support and form the ideas. However, this process and the simple ability to sit in the same room just wasn’t possible during the pandemic. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, on this project we believe that it has helped us to capture the isolation a photographer seeks with their subject. It's an attempt at slowing down and finding something internal. When the chatter stops, the creative intentions seep through.

Music For Photographers was first created as a functional tool. For the last two years, we’ve been photographing our city and the brutal architecture that sits within the landscape. Throughout this process many mistakes had been made, resulting in many return visits to repeat work already undertaken. Rushing, aimlessly collecting and near misses are all common problems. Photography, just like any other artform, needs to be practised and the skills need to be attained. Like music, it’s a constant battle.

Something was needed to aid the art being sought.

We created Music For Photographers with two simple rules; to be void of human voices and that it should be played in full when visiting any location. Our approach to composing the music and visiting the locations evolved. It helped the whole process become a more fluid exchange of ideas and we repeated the process later while editing the photographs. The book "Brutal Sheffield" provided a full stop for the creative process, finding that perfect balance between function and form.

Music For Photographers has now become a fully functioning sigil in our creative process. Rather than just invoking, it also evokes and goes beyond being a simple function. Listen carefully and you can hear the bréton brut!

Love life
(words & music: minuit de lacroix)

I am breathing in new sunshine
Feeling like the blues are gone
I turned around to lift you up
but you’d already left me all alone

To love life is to walk and to breathe
far away from the days
where we should not be
When we lost to the wind
and all we had was tomorrow
Know that you had me too
but why should I try to convince you?

You’re unhappy everyday
with all those blackened skies
and even though you were my eyes
I'm gonna face the sun and say
To love life is to walk and to breathe
far away from the ways
where we should not be
To enjoy new fresh air and be free
to have faith and believe
that the things that they say cannot be
more than lies

I will never forget the past
Now you’ll have to forgive me
I'm one with myself again at long last
To love life is to run and to see
far away from the days
where we should not stay
To enjoy new fresh air and be free
to have faith and believe (at long last)
that the lies that they say cannot be

You’ll get there sometime
You must believe it because I've seen it
in the stars


Love Life
