Gizmodo Premieres Nigel Stanford's New Space-Age Music Video "One Hundred Hunters"

NEW YORK, April 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "One Hundred Hunters" is the second single from Stanford's debut Sony Music Masterworks album, Automatica. Following the success of his wildly popular music video for the title-track "Automatica", Nigel decided to take his creativity one step further beyond programming a robot rock band and instead slip on an astronaut suit and head to space (sort of). In his latest space-age music video, which debuted yesterday on Gizmodo, Stanford put down the robots temporarily and make use of some recently released NASA footage of the Apollo and Gemini space missions of the 1960's and 70's. What was once bits and pieces of scattered mission footage, Stanford turned into a 4-minute sci-fi epic that just might make fans wonder how much is real footage and how much was rendered to Stanford and team's magic touch.
