In Tune [2024]

In Tune is a site-specific composition combining two of three animations that Edmonds directed, animated, and composed for The Dark Side of The Moon 50th Anniversary Animated Music Video Competition (2023).

The animations were created using animation techniques, both 2D and 3D. Many elements are drawn frame by frame including the rotoscoping of recorded footage. The animations are narrative driven, while also offering an elusive thematic scope that mirrors the lyrics of the Pink Floyd songs Eclipse and Speak to Me. The artist reinterprets the iconic music of fifty years into a contemporary context, particularly through the exploration of the pervasive unease that can be experienced while living in an era of compound crises. In doing so, we can see the continued relevance of the messages and themes explored through Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of The Moon album (1973).

Edmonds is a multimedia artist living and working in the Moreton Bay region of Queensland, Australia. They graduated from Queensland College of Art at Griffith University with a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours in 2015. Their practice spans a wide range of media such as drawing, animation, installation, ceramics, and object-making. Their work often serves as socio-political commentary, aiming to spark contemplation and conversations about contemporary life.
