This is my "Fair Use," tribute to one of my favorite bands, Joy Division, and their front man, Ian Curtis. It is a "Fair Use" tribute because anyway that anyone can share this great music to a new audience: that act serves as a free flowing cultural education that's not or cannot be organized by any traditional manner. In the end I'm sure this sells more music for those that own the rights to the music. Ian Curtis and Joy Division, was and is, one of those rare groups, who continue to influence beyond the world beyond music more than 30 years after they last recorded anything in a studio. Their impact continues to be seen and recognized in the worlds of design, art, philosophy, film, and more. They were the perfect band for the digital age, thirty years before the I-pod. I decided to use my red headed children (and their best friend) as the band when I noticed them singing the chorus one day. They'll sing whatever I'm playing if I play it enough. Since they have no idea or interest in the tragedy surrounding Ian Curtis's death, my hope was by using them as the band it would remove some of the sadness one feels whenever they think about Ian Curtis. I tried to use the original video as a jumping off point for inspiration. In a way to a lessor degree this piece turned into a reflection of a now disappearing Brooklyn.
