3rd clip from the "Vietnam Images" music clip series, "Channelship" is the 16th original music video clip upload here in just as many weeks. 1/week for 16 weeks in a row, with original images, sound, and animation, an interesting challenge. As we are already preparing for the fall, uploads slow down a bit in the summer, but there is plenty more to come. This clip is special in many ways but mostly, it is designed as a tribute to creative YouTubers and YouTube musicians, their music, their love of music, and the way they are sharing them with everyone, through YouTube. It is also a tribute to YouTube for making this possible. "Channelship" stands for "Channel Ship" like the ship in the channel in the clip, as well as for "channelship", as in channel collaboration and exchange, and possibly as well for "Channel's Hip", which is also true now. Combining an (unretouched) improvised lead on a pattern (inspired by a bass line in Bizets' Carmen Opera ...), to a video improvisation on HaLong Bay with a flying playing round keyboard, this clip salutes the wide open channel offered by YouTube and especially, all the good ships that travel through it. As the water surfing spheres may represent the YouTube surfers and the sound wave represent the upload and communication processes, somehow, that ship, and that lead, represent YouTuber contributions and lead.
