YouTube Preview Image

Ellie’s creative single ‘Apple’ from her Independent album ‘Lost Songs’ with brilliant animation by Nacho Romero. Presented by Quiksilver Women. Lost Songs is available to buy on iTunes and CD Baby.

 

“This is a young woman plugged directly into the electric source of creativity. This music is so rich, so finely envisioned and realized, that you can fall into these tracks, and live in them for days at a time. In a world where a scarcity of substance prevails, this collection swims against the current of what’s conventional, packing in all the tunefulness, rhythmic and verbal wonder that tracks can hold. This is sensational.” Paul Zollo, Journalist and author of Songwriters on Songwriting.

Introducing Quiksilver woman Julie Boulanger

The face of an angel, a cheeky elegance, and a unique voice… Julie Boulanger is a woman of beauty, gentleness and creativity. She has the soul of a born entertainer and is a multi-talented artist. Born in Paris, she’s devoted her life to acting and has recently created a band together with Michael Clement. The sound of “Freckles” is a mixture of acoustic and rhythmic folk melodies, with her husky voice transporting us to an inspired, bohemian new world.

Video shoot for my song ‘Apple’

.
Shot a video on Thursday for my song “Apple”.

It was great fun!! Started at 8am with Nicole and Lindsay doing my hair and make-up. Had GMTV on the TV in the backgroup whilst listening to the Kooks and Nicole was pointing to the presenters hair on the TV, which she had styled a few hours before mine!

the production team get busy

The production team get busy

Turned up at the industrial location, which we had scouted a week before and the manager there said that we couldn’t shoot there. Have you heard of a ‘jobs worth’ well he had the T-shirt, cup and book. We had to find a new location on the fly, and my wonderful production team of 10 people walked all around the industrial estate and found some where even better! Hooray!! Big and eternal thanks

the band balance themselves..

Band on a branch..

to the very creative and professional Kaspar, (director) Twan, (producer and editor) Christine (director of photography) and all the hard working crew on this shoot. Thank you to Marta and Julie for the wicked clothes and for helping making it happen. We shot lots of scenes in the industrial location- like inside a big container, walking by the barbed wire and then we moved to the park to shoot the end of the video with my band, Dave, Hils and Giles.

.

Giles, my bass player, travelled all the way from France to be in the video, but had forgotten something: His bass! Not a big deal for our creative and down too earth Giles. He went off to the garden centre and came back with a Skiffle bass, made from a metal bucket, a broomstick and some string!! Look closely at the pic! (click to enlarge)

Here’s a video of the making of Apple. YouTube Preview Image

We have a brilliant animator called Nacho working on the video and he will be drawing all over the film. Very excited!! We are aiming for it to be finished by August 14th.

Check out the E.P.I.C girls !

Having first bonded over their love for music, Tenille and Alexi later came to find that their vision for the world and long-term goals were also similar. While watching a  program about the growing problems in Africa, they came up with the idea of E.P.I.C (Everyday People Initiating Changes) and the concept that people of every age, race, creed or social status have the ability to change the world for the better every day in whatever they choose.
