They tell us about the creation of an interactive, mixed reality music video for the newest single from Silver Relics, Tails. They share with us their individual experiences.

How they find a common ground to emerge the physical actuality of Alex performing with the digital magical reality of Erin’s work. Alex Sepassi is the founder & frontperson of rock group-Silver Relics. Beginning at age 10, Sepassi actively honed a raw talent as a vocalist, performer at an early age and by his late teens, a prolific songwriter. The influence of the iconic British songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s, along with the technicolor experiments of the psychedelics and brooding ’80s indie rock. He deftly incorporates the best of these influences while adhering to a classical “songs first” philosophy. New York producer Howie Beno cut Silver Relics first album! . Following a successful tour of Ireland and the UK in the summer of 2019, the band enlisted the refined talents of English-born bassist and composer, Mark Crozer (The Jesus and Mary Chain). After working together for some time, Crozer brought his JAMC rhythm counterpart, Brian Young in on drums. The band is currently in the studio recording their sophomore album set to release in 2021. instagram.com/silverrelics/ Erin Ko is a mixed media artist based in New York.

Her experiential work often includes video projection, augmented reality, virtual reality, and more. She has worked in digital media for 20+ years.Central to Ko’s art-making philosophy is the tenet that voyeurs must be able to engage with the work in an analog sense; that people be allowed to curate their own experience based on how much technology they invite into the moment.
