Renowned for his visionary directing, photography, and music production, ROBERT ASCROFT emerged as a prominent figure in the 2000s, forging his path through collaborations with luminaries of the Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys.
Ascroft’s collaborative track and video “Faded Photograph” with Ruth Radelet of Chromatics turned heads earlier this year with its dreamy backdrop, and today the renowned photographer and musician shares “Empty Pages,” featuring Zumi Rosow of Black Lips.
“Empty Pages,” features vocals from Rosow and drumming from Derek James. The latter aimed to channel Mo Tucker — a shared favorite of his and Ascroft’s — as a percussionist, and Rosow’s vocal melody soars atop guitar fuzz straight out of the Lower East Side in the ’70s. At once mesmerizing and energetic, the song leaves room for interpretation. Ascroft’s flair beams through the music video (and film set photographs), which draws from ’90s Italian Vogue.
“the latest gothic masterpiece from the ever-enigmatic Zumi Rosow – an immersive experience that blends music, film, and high fashion into one dark, moody package.” – IRK MAGAZINE
