Ian Roderick Gray was nominated for a UKMVA for his last collaboration with Charlie Winston - a live video&nbsp;of the singer-songwriter performing <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/05/04/charlie-winston-lost-memory-ian-roderick-gray/64634" target="_blank">Lost In The Memory</a> at a villa in the South of France. Now they collaborate again in another memorable location - La Frette Studios in Paris - for Here I Am.As the director&nbsp;explains below, the idea was to document the recording process of the song at La Frette and give it the dynamism of a music video. Subtitled, 'The Anatomy Of The Song', Gray has demonstrated how layers of sounds and intrumentation were added to the track via a simple method of a continual circular camera motion.&nbsp;Starting with Winston laying down the vocal track, he is then joined by each accompanying musician in turn to build the sound of Here I Am: tabla player&nbsp;Aref Durvesh, singers&nbsp;Maria Marolany and Marieline Marolany - and then finally legendary cora player&nbsp;Toumani Diabaté.[imgtoken data:1]

Movement and philosophy are explored in Ian Roderick Gray's spectacular mini-doc for Danny Keane.&nbsp;Remotely directed by Gray in&nbsp;London and shot in Mexico by DoP Pablo Rojo, the film focuses on Rojo's mother, the dancer&nbsp;Maité&nbsp;Guadarrama, and her philosophy on dance, intimately capturing her graceful movements and innermost thoughts in and around her beautiful house in Oaxaca, Mexico.Celebrating rhythm and the joy of being alive, the six-minute piece incorporates Q+A style questions and answers, dance solos and intimate portraits of Maité, who is clearly enamoured with the artform and the freedom she has to express herself everyday.&nbsp;Taking on a documentary-style format and shooting style, Rojo captures the spontaneity of the movement with zestful&nbsp;energy, and the unique relationship he has with the subject allows a certain freedom and access that might not be possible under different circumstances.Ajoyo is the first collaboration between Ian Roderick Gray and artist Danny Keane, and a film that transcends borders and celebrates diversity. Ajoyo shows that dancing is not restricted by environment, class or location, but can truly be performed anywhere, at any time and by anyone who feels rhythm - a true celebration of the power and universality of the artform.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Charlie Winston teams up with Ian Roderick Gray for a unique&nbsp;live-performance visual, filmed in a villa in the South of France.&nbsp;Whilst recording at the&nbsp;villa, Charlie Winston noticed the various acoustic qualities of the residence, and the different effects each room/ location had on the sound. So&nbsp;dozens of microphones were wired up around the villa, and Gray was tasked to capture a one-take video - shot with entirely live sound.&nbsp;This requred near-perfection from both the crew and Winston. One wrong move, and it would all need to be reset - which happened on numerous occasions, as Gray explains below. Finally, as the sun was setting and the light was fading away, they nailed it...&nbsp;

Ian Roderick Gray's enigmatic and gripping video for British producer On Man centres around a disfigured young man locked into a nightmarish, perpetual pursuit by unseen assailants.It takes visual cues from the unsettling body horror of Cronenberg and combines them with the dark and surreal atmosphere of Lynch to create a haunting visual that matches the ominous tone of Squares and Triangles.
