    A gold statue, office executive, ballerina, gym junkie, and school child are going through the motions of their daily mundane routine. Suddenly an ethereal voice fills their mind and they see fleeting images of the muses of ‘divine mechanism’. Curiously following, they escape to the joys of a magical mystical land. Playing, laughing, they come together to experience the surreal sounds of the evocative music. Coming back to reality a little happier, surely it must have been a dream…right?

    vocalise film clip is a wrap!

    divine mechanism and an amazing group of talented actors and crew spent the weekend filming a video clip for the divine mechanism track Vocalise. This clip (and the Vocalise track) is to be featured on an upcoming DVD release.

    In some trying conditions (early, freezing cold mornings) the cast and crew managed to complete a hectic schedule of filming involving gyms, cars, ballet studios, parks, schools and talent shows.

    After two days of shooting, the footage will now be viewed and edited and should be ready soon for its first public showing at LOOP (date tba). All are welcome to come and see the result of everyone's hard work.

    A big thanks go to all those who helped out on the day, including:
