Musicmaker and Mark Logan's annual collaboration is back...and better than ever.......
"Ai can't create from the human experience, so can it ever create something truly human?"
Inspired by a quote from Hozier earlier this year mm & Collective Films set out to investigate the true utility of music in our humanity, beyond technology and commercialisation.
"We all know and feel the sacred nature of music, but what does that look like set against a backdrop of Ai generated Drake jams ?" - - Mark Logan, writer, director & musical director.
With the help of a huge team of legends we rallied around this cause to create our second instalment of anti-commercial Christmas ads.
A special thank you to the late great Eithne Ní Uallacháin for her words and offering 'Grief' which was carried with the utmost love and respect by Sionnáin, Mel, Rónán ó Snodaigh & Megan Nic Ruairí
