BHA+ Season 2, Episode 01: Interview with musician & music video director Maxwell Farrell - 2026-01-06
Episode 1
Monday, 5 January, 2026
Musician and music video director Max Farrell spent almost 8 years gathering footage for what became a roughly half-hour short film that supports the release of Blessings Infinity's latest album, Season One. With a specific interest in experimental imagery, he crafted the film's sections into meticulously layered collages of landscapes wild, cultivated, and urban, and although the final work is in HD, for the limited VHS edition, he recomposed the widescreen footage to suit the standard 4:3 ratio of a CRT monitor – the optimum way to enjoy VHS. Whether you prefer to sample Season One or any of Farrell's video work before or after the podcast is up to you; you can listen to our conversation as an audio-only podcast via Libsyn, or as a visually enhanced version on YouTube. In addition to the current Editor's Blog at Big Head Amusements, I'll have a separate blog about creating the visuals for the YouTube version, as well as the workflow used to transfer digital to analogue tape, but here are the necessary links to Farrell's work: Max Farrell's Website: https://fakoandro.world/ Blessings Infinity: Season One - Full Length Video https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPl2nNWk2of/?igsh=MjJkcnd0bmFlZ2xh Blessings Infinity - Season One on bandcamp: https://blessingsinfinity.bandcamp.com/ Other videos mentioned in podcast: COLA - "Water Table" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzT9QJbEssU Karen Ng - "Tactile Black" https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPl2nNWk2of/?igsh=MjJkcnd0bmFlZ2xh Additional Music Videos by Max Farrell on YouTube: Bodywash - "Kind of Light" (khotin remix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0WD1ce_S7g COLA – "Blank Curtain": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odpAsB6Umf0 Phyla – "Run Until the Sky": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeY5qwF_yoc Reves Sonores – "Mondial": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTHytya3Tds Connect with BHA+ on Facebook and Instagram for further info on the latest posts, blogs, and podcasts at BHA+ - the Patreon-sponsored media channel specializing in reviewing & using vintage video gear in short, narrative, and experimental works - and to inquire about custom audio & video services at Big Head Amusements. --- MRH (2026)
