The Golden Age

A connection string:  Max Richter > Yoann Lemoine >\; William Gedney.  Or whatever sequence you want.

Woodkid (aka Yoann Lemoine) just released this video of his homage to William Gedney, a fascinating photographer who lived mostly in obscurity but was championed by the likes of Diane Arbus.  Gedney, whose street photography I have admired for years (and I have discussed on my photography blog), died of AIDS in 1989.  Woodkid -- whose In The Golden Age album and Iron EP -- occupy favored positions in my music library, does a remix of a track from another of my favorite composers (Max Richter's "Embers" from his Memoryhouse album).
