NEWS: Rich Aucoin shares his new video for "Brian Wilson is ALIVE"
Rich Aucoin shares his new video for "Brian Wilson is ALIVE" taken from his debut We're All Dying To Live as the “I Want To Believe Tour” continues
The dizzying video follows Aucoin as he runs around performing recreations of classic Beach Boys album covers and reenactments of Brian Wilson biography folklore.
Aucoin says of the concept behind the video:
"The
idea for this video was to do a re-telling of Brian Wilson's
extraordinary life so far and homage as many milestones as we could in
the 4mins of the song's duration as we could. We started the story out
in Brian's bedroom in Hawthorne practicing vocals along to the radio to
the recordings of The Four Freshmen (see posters in the background!)
with his brothers. Then we quickly see the Candix recording studio
before its collapse, making way for the Capitol Records signing. After
being photographed with a surfboard and lead onto Ed Sullivan, we see
them recording, posing for the Pet Sounds cover and being bombarded with
fame until collapsing under it and the making of SMiLE's pressure.
After escaping from bed, we see Brian's progression back to health and
to finishing his opus. This was all made out of love and respect for a
man and his music who have given so much to everyone. THANKS BRIAN!"
The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson recently posted a link to the video on their official Facebook profiles.
Aucoin's
debut was long listed for this year's Polaris Prize and has been
nominated for eight Music Nova Scotia awards. The album is a swirling
symphony of uplifting indie rock, harnessing the talents of over five
hundred musicians.
