Lumiere (Live - Conceptual Video)

[mmmender]

I've taken a live bootleg recording that someone made of Robin's Lumiere performance from Paris 2005 and I've created my own sort of conceptual video interpretation of the entire live performance. The piece is approximately 46minutes in length. I didn't have too much material to work with in terms of images of Robin during an actual Lumiere performance, so I had to sort of use my imagination to fill in the rest.

I'm currently uploading it to youtube but will also make it available for download from my server at a later date (because it's going to take forever to upload as the file is rather large). I do hope you enjoy watching it, all I can say is that at least it provides some interesting visual motifs for you to look at rather than just listening to the live performance on its own. As always, I welcome your feedback. I will post the links shortly as soon as the uploads are complete.

EDIT: I can't upload to youtube as they have a 10 minute video length limit, so I'm going to have to just upload this to my server and post a link as soon as it's done. I think what I'll do is upload a 10 minute sample of the video to youtube and hopefully I'll be able to provide some sort of a link where people can download the entire thing if they want to.

EDIT2: I found a website that lets you upload 200MB files so I'm in the process of uploading it there so that you can watch the entire thing (warning: it's long!) In case anyone is interested it works just like youtube, here's the link: http://www.putfile.com

Well, I had no success with that website either...so, what I've done is uploaded a brief couple of pages (in video format) to youtube explaining the 'alternate' video and providing them with a download link that they can follow to see the entire thing.

I'm uploading the video now to my server but it's going to take about another 3 hours!

I've already set up a webpage with details and a download link, you can find it here:

[mmmender]

I know the download must take forever, but I do hope some of you take the time to do it, I really did work hard on it and I'm hoping you find it enjoyable.

What's the title of the first track?

[mmmender]

This video seems to have gone against Robin's wishes, which were to keep this merely a live project of his own making......which I totally respect so I'm no longer making it available for download.
