Shown in conjunction with live music performances during Forcefield's 2001 tour, Tunnel Vision includes the group's first animation experiment. The artists describe this merger of performance, animation and fantastical narrative as "Forcefield in its darkly-shrouded assassin period."
Assassins Ride is a protracted tableau; three masked figures stand around a blustering fire, while a pulsating, measured electronic beat booms out. Occasional strobe effects and a fireball add to the incendiary feel. The soundtrack is taken from the Assassins CDR.
Description
The artists describe this tape, which merges performance and animation with fantastical narrative, as "Forcefield in its darkly-shrouded assassin period." Shown in conjunction with live music performances during Forcefield's 2001 tour, Tunnel Vision includes the group's first animation experiment. Three figures holding flaming torches explore a dark tunnel while on their hunt for the "Albino Moon Varmit." They then attack a machine with deliberate yet frenzied movements. The tunnel scene gives way to an extended abstract animation, with a soundtrack that ranges from high-pitched swells to loud squeaks. Assassins Ride is a protracted tableau; three masked figures stand around a blustering fire, while a pulsating, measured electronic beat booms out. Occasional strobe effects and a fireball add to the incendiary feel. The soundtrack is taken from the Assassins CDR.
