Keep Going (Paris Walkabout Session)

this year, while thinking about this song and doing tape delay experiments jesse had the idea that he wanted to make a live performance walking along video of this song.
So we dug out a battery powered amp and bunged it in a string bag and slung it over my shoulder and headed out into our neighbourhood to walk around and play the song.
We did a few different takes and , as is the way with these things, in each take there were nice moments to be found. People passing by, funny noises in the back ground, a friend recognising us from their balcony, certain architectural coincidences that went nicely with the music… things like that. So we decided to edit all the takes together using our favourite bits and keeping the audio from each take. Jesse did an amazing job of editing it all together and then added some tape delayed string arrangements over the top. A kind of unexpected/unspoken atmosphere/presence.
and here it is. a video of me walking around my neighbourhood where i've been all year. quite a rare thing for me as susually i'm on tour, so this video feels partly like it should be dedicated to the place and streets where i live and all the people who also live there and who have been getting through the past year or so as best they can.

i'm going through some depression at the moment and no exaggeration, this song gave me the courage to leave the house today. just gotta keep going!

[@spinningreelsofrhyme]

this song is soooooooo therapeutic!

[@Steveisdriftless]

Such a beautiful song. Lifts me up today, been battling a stomach virus and feeling a little depressed. This song never fails to lift me up. Thank you Kate.

Song & video work perfectly together. All sorts of contingencies turning up and becoming part of it. Thanks! ❤

[@Tugboat_City]

I like the part where someone waves from a balcony and she waves back with her foot. 😊

[@StompinThompson72]

Thank you for your beautiful songs.Your music has been with me since the start of my awakening journey in 2017, guiding, blessing, inspiring and nourishing me. Love you Kate.

It is amazing how the "real world" coexists with the beautiful "world of art". What would become of us, if we could not escape from time to time, to this world. Thank you for this art at its best. 💕 Music!
Es asombroso cómo conviven el "mundo real", con el hermoso "mundo del arte". Que sería de nosotros, si no pudiéramos escaparnos de vez en cuando, a este mundo.
Gracias por este arte en su máxima expresión. 💕 Música!

[@rwgrover]

Really lovely! Is this one audio take over spliced up bits of video with ambient sound? Just curious how you did this while keeping the audio at a consistent level.

[@morningstarmusicclub]

hiya, the video is comped from 4 takes walking round the block (no click track either) and the audio cuts where the video does. the strings and horns are chucked onthe top after

[@rwgrover]

@@morningstarmusicclub It sounds great. Well done, and congrats! I hope you make more.

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Wow, so many people wearing masks.
