A lone choirboy in his choral gown collects fragments of electronic equipment along mudflats in Broken Antenna's poignant video for Clark's Small.The track is taken from the electronic musician and soundtrack composer's latest album Playground In A Lake, released on classical label Deutsche Grammaphon, and features young Nathaniel Timoney on vocals - who plays the beachcoming choirboy in the video.Filmed in the Thames estuary, this is a tonal departure for the directing duo - that's Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby - compared to previous videos for Hak Baker and others. But the result is a distinctive vision of a Ballardian 'Drowned World' evoked in Clark's new album, with a splendid performance from their young lead.
