Sound & Vision - Teaming North East musicians with remixers/producers and film makers

After months of taking submissions from artists, allowing the public to have their say and selecting a final track for Sound & Vision, Generator and Northern Film & Media called for submissions from regional producers and remixers. We were all blown away by the quality and diversity of remixes submitted and are very pleased to announce that the final remix has been chosen.

Franco-Philippe (aka Alex Hindle)'s remix is a French Electro tinged reworking of the anthemic indie original by Teessiders Jimmy & the Sounds who play heartfelt indie rock, like the Gaslight Anthem but with a distinctly North East twist. 'Sounds' was released as a single on April 26th and Jimmy & the Sounds are definitely ones to watch.

We’re now looking for emerging film makers to work alongside Jimmy & the Sounds and Franco-Philippe to produce a music video.

The chosen film maker will produce an industry standard music video, to be launched at a high profile event later in the year.

And we are very pleased to announce that one of the world’s leading music film makers- Dick Carruthers - will mentor the chosen film maker throughout the process. Legendary film maker Dick Carruthers has directed and produced live concerts and DVDs for the biggest names in the music industry, including Oasis, Led Zeppelin, The Killers, Alicia Keys, The Who, Take That, The Rolling Stones and The White Stripes.
