one fine day i suggested to my friend colin that we shoot a video with his band i draw slow all in one take, and try to record the sound beautifully as well. that was 'swans', and i've gone on to make a good few more since - sometimes live, sometimes not. my dad is a musician, but he didn't want us to be musicians unless we really couldn't do anything else. so i'm just trying to get as close as i can..?
