Mời xem MV Vladimir’s Blue mới của nghệ sĩ Max Richter được quay bằng camera tầm nhiệt

The music video is a collaboration between artist  Max Richter  and BAFTA-winning filmmaker  Yulia Mahr . Vladimir’s Blue is a new work in the album The Blue Notebook. The MV’s Event Premiere on  Youtube  includes a live conversation between Max Richter and Yulia Mahr about the concept and content of the MV: A very subtle look at the escalating global tension in recent months.

The special feature of the MV is not in the shooting angle or the content, the deep plot as usual. Yulia Mahr, as mentioned at the beginning of the MV, used technologies originally developed for military and surveillance purposes: Thermal cameras  . Thermal cameras collect the  infrared signal  and convert it into video of Max Richter performing on his piano. However, by using such “specialized” tools, Max Richter and Yulia Mahr are trying to evoke the good sides, a different perspective, a new approach to the above technology instead of using them. for war purposes or to spy on others.

As of the time of the article being translated, “Vladimir’s Blue” has reached over 150 million  streams and is holding the number 1 position in the most streamed works of Max Richter. His Blue Notebook is not only a protest against force but also a meditative approach to dealing with the violent surroundings, experiences drawn from Max Richter’s own violent past. He once had to escape painful memories through music, literature, love and most especially butterflies. In the MV, Yulia Mahr demonstrates this very subtly: the pianist’s transition from adulthood back to childhood stretches out to the emotional tempo of the MV.

At the Richter Mahr studio, Max Richter and Yulia Mahr have been working together for over 25 years. The Blue Notebook was started by Richter in 2003 as his demonstration for the war in Iraq. This war theme sparked in Mahr the idea of ​​​​using military technologies in his music videos. According to the filmmaker’s share, she believes that surveillance and military technologies have brought about a lot of violence and suffering around the world. “Will I (Mahr) be able to find the positive side of them for me?”



In my personal opinion, I highly appreciate Yulia Mahr’s perspective and ideas. Because in a world where there is negativity everywhere, a little hope, a little bit of positivity will still motivate us to degenerate in the way that the world is being dyed in an escalation of violence.
