← Back | Musician | 4 Music Videos
Award-winning Scottish artist C Duncan is an architect turned musician whose meticulous artistry has cascaded across both his career paths. Known for synthesizing his musical aptitude with distinctive visual aesthetics, he is credited for designing his album covers, thus nurturing an organic connection between his songs and their visual representations. His plunge into the music industry marked a distinct drift towards the conventional where he introduced his craft in an innovative self-produced debut album, "Architect", in 2015, leading him to a Mercury Prize nomination.
Duncan’s music videos, much akin to his songs, are idiosyncratic and magnetic in nature. His video for “Garden” is emblematic of the artisanal caliber. With a minimalistic aesthetic, this stop motion video presents a day in the life of a plasteline character in a seemingly mundane backdrop, which interestingly is the artist's own apartment. This sparked the curiosity of many fans who compared screenshots to his Instagram posts to verify the similarity. His video for "Impossible" utilized over 2500 photos taken from different locations in Glasgow, where he confronted traditional perceptions of beauty in urban decay. The video follows a journey over dilapidated buildings and graffiti-ridden walls, subtly reflecting the melancholy of his melody, all in a hued vintage finish.
From an unrecorded bedroom artist to one of the renowned names in the Alternative/Indie genre, C Duncan's craftsmanship remains rooted in embracing the distinct and the less-travelling paths. And for those querying for some trivia, Duncan's cat makes a guest appearance in almost all his live sessions from home!
