Here is the brand new video of my latest remix! Filmed and directed by the amazing Simone Smith, top class VJ and film maker from Glasgow. The remix is of a track called ‘Lament for Mr Thomas Grant’ from the album ‘Strewn with Ribbons‘ by Scottish fiddler Lauren MacColl. Hope you enjoy it!
Filmed and directed by Simone Smith
Film concept and edit by Simone and Spad
‘Girl on Beach’ – Natalie Smith
‘Shadow of fiddler’ – Lauren MacColl
The original track ‘Lament for Mr Thomas Grant’ consists of just fiddle and acoustic guitar so when I sat down to put together the remix, there was plenty of space and inspiration for creating rhythm and bass ideas around the melody. Writing beats in 6/8 time is not really that common in electronic music, so it was a good challenge and a worthwhile one too.
A big thank you to Lauren for letting us film her fiddle playing shadow for the video and also to Natalie for hours of fantastic beach dancing on a cold spring day! And of course a really big thank you to Simone for all her talent, hard work and patience! Looking forward to working on the next one ; )
More on the way soon…

I was hoping to contact you and Simone Smith about using a short excerpt (under 24 seconds) of the Lament: Remix video for a short documentary project. Could you please email me? I would love to give you more information!
