Chris Turner

Chris Turner (aka Favourite Colour: Black) keeps it simple, powerful and genuinely lo-fi for Esya - that&#39;s the&nbsp;solo project of Ayse Hassan of Savages.&nbsp;A single set-up covers Hassan&#39;s performance with an edit dictated by the fallout from shooting on a VHS camera onto an analogue TV. It&#39;s a video portrait, as stark and atmospheric as Hassan&#39;s uncompromising music.

Esya 'Lost' by Favourite Colour: Black

High Contrast, aka Lincoln Barrett, falls foul of an unsympathetic audience in Chris Turner (aka Favourite Colour: Black)&#39;s video for Shotgun Mouthwash &ndash;&nbsp;which features on the new T2 Trainspotting soundtrack. In fact he finds himself in a roomful of Begbies...Turner reveals that the video was inspired less by Trainspotting than Marina Abramovic. &quot;It came out of a conversation with Lincoln where he said he&rsquo;d always wanted to make a video where he gets beaten up by the crowd,&quot; explains Turner. &quot;This reminded me of the Marina Abramovic &#39;Rhythm 0&rsquo; experiment - so we set out to do something where Lincoln is attacked with increasing hostility by his audience.&quot;&nbsp;&quot;Due to the nature of the song, this was the first video of mine where I had to perform in it myself and not just singing but acting, with stunts, too,&quot; adds Barratt.&nbsp;&quot;So it was quite a challenging prospect for me but thankfully we found a great director in Favourite Colour: Black who was very collaborative and encouraging. The team he put together were fantastic and the rehearsal before the shoot with the stunt team was invaluable in making everything run smoothly on the day as there were so many stunts and they all involved me getting bashed about!&quot;It also helped that the set felt like a real movie shoot with a great cast of character actors who were very easy to bounce off and most of the time I didnt really need to act but rather just react naturally as they were so convincing. It&#39;s also crazy to see the clips from T2 Trainspotting in the video, cutting from shots of me singing to Renton and the gang &ndash; pretty mindblowing for someone like me who saw Trainspotting as a young teen and got their first taste of dance music and club culture from it.&quot;

High Contrast 'Shotgun Mouthwash' by Favourite Colour: Black

High-Contrast--'Shotgun-Mouthwash'-by-Favourite-Colour:-Black

Chris Turner - aka Favourite Colour: Black - gets together with his former assistant, and now up-and-coming director&nbsp;Tash Tung co-direct this surreal,&nbsp;disorientating video for electronic trio Wrangler, led by Stephen Mallinder, former frontman of Cabaret Voltaire, fearless synth and music video pioneers of the early 80s.Here Mallinder unhoods himself in a deserted place, and uncovers an unlikely&nbsp;murder scene, and a journey that leads disconcertingly back to its start.&nbsp;&ldquo;I never like music to have a single diagnosis, it should be what we each want to see and hear,&quot; says Mallinder. &quot;So it was fascinating to see how Chris and Tash&rsquo;s ideas and imagery in the video resonated with mine, and how the film worked so well with our music.&quot;&nbsp;The video was shot in Dungeness in Kent, and Mallinder continues: &quot;Also we all agreed it would be good to have a nod-of-the-head to the early Cabs videos I made with Peter Care, always walking and with me wearing - in this case rather disturbingly - eye make-up. I feel I am quite terrifying in the film which feeds into the unsettling nature of the track.&nbsp;And it was filmed in both Chris, and my, favourite place in England.&quot;

Wrangler 'Stupid' by Chris Turner (Favourite Colour: Black) & Tash Tung

Wrangler ‘Stupid’

Chris Turner - aka Favourite Colour: Black - draws the viewer into his story of corruption for Young Guns&#39;s Speaking In Tongues,&nbsp;in much in the way that&nbsp;Young Guns&#39; lead singer Gus is lured into the maelstrom: by an exciting&nbsp;encounter with a girl in suspenders, stockings and a very short fur coat.But its never as good again for Gus&nbsp;as that first time - in fact, it gets a whole lot worse &ndash;&nbsp;in a stylish visual demonstration&nbsp;of the law of diminishing returns.&nbsp;
