Ludovic Gontrand Directs Improvised Music Video for Thomas de Pourquery’s ‘The Rhythm Changed’

Ludovic Gontrand directs an entirely improvised and unscripted music video for French musician Thomas de Pourquery.

The Rhythm Changed is set in a pub with a cast representative of modern cultural diversity, honing in on the raw personalities which make-up our human uniqueness. Captured over an evening, the video lives in the moment and encapsulates the unforeseen drama and excitement only a night with an eclectic mix of society's individuals can bring.

The track, "The Rhythm Changed," takes us on a journey into Thomas's inner psyche, exploring his delirium, eccentricity, and myriad of thoughts as he navigates life's ebbs and flows.

Thomas de Pourquery said, “It was a very emotional moment when Ludovic and I first met. I told him about my inspirations behind the song, the images I'd imagined to embody all those parts of ourselves that live within us. He had this simple and brilliant idea, which touched me enormously: to find strong, singular faces to embody this inner crowd, and to let them exist in a bar, a timeless place, where he would capture reality by letting the cameras roll and offering real moments of life to be filmed. I was happy to follow him in this venture, which I felt vibrated with the frequencies of my song. I was not disappointed.”

Director Ludovic Gontrand added, "Each member of our cast brought their own vibrant narrative and persona, which we aimed to portray on screen with utmost authenticity. Our goal was to capture the essence of real-life experiences."

French born Thomas de Pourquery is well known for his prowess as a saxophonist. The new album entitled 'Let the Monster Fall' which is released on 29th March sees the musician reinventing himself that marks a bold transition towards electro-pop.
