TREE OF LIFE
Directed by Tom Robinson

editing.

The Tree of Life is an experimental Audio/Video film that creates a hypnotic and meditative experience. Tom Robinson created the film during the Covid Lockdowns after exploring infinite feedback loops and kaleidoscopic effects. The audio was produced without a computer by sampling sounds around the home, combined with melodies created with hardware synthesizers and programmed by a hardware MIDI sequencer. The visuals were created in real time by performing to the audio track and recorded using analog video equipment.

The film takes the viewer on a journey from a drowsy slumber down a kaleidoscopic rabbit hole in search of the secrets of the tree of life. However, upon climbing out, the viewer slowly forgets the journey and is compelled to start anew.
