The concept of the music\/comedian\/poets telling the story of two people was a really interesting concept and puts a nice twist on the relationship between music and films. The music\u00a0<b>is<\/b>\u00a0the story, instead of being an accompaniment or an accentuation of emotion. It was a fun project to be a part of and I look forward to the finished result!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1878\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/bethstenningbodypainting\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1878 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/files\/2016\/09\/BethStenningBodyPainting-1024x680.png\" alt=\"bethstenningbodypainting\" width=\"660\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/files\/2016\/09\/BethStenningBodyPainting-1024x680.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/files\/2016\/09\/BethStenningBodyPainting-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/files\/2016\/09\/BethStenningBodyPainting-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/music\/files\/2016\/09\/BethStenningBodyPainting-700x465.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Body painting for &#8220;Tin Foil Men&#8221; video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For the majority of this summer I have been working in Cornwall, whilst working on my second album which will be out in the next few months.
