“Gig” is a masterful stop-motion animation created by the inspiring filmmaker Tobias Stretch, produced for the first solo album by the now pleasantly low-key musician Brian Goss. Goss began his musical career in 1987, forming bands that produced music noted for innovative combinations of noise, metal and acid rock. “Gig” is a song featured on “The Firing Line”, Goss’s first solo album that he describes as a work about heartbreak, perseverance and conciliation.
Tobias Stretch’s stop-motion animation films and bizarre, dreamlike puppet-characters are visually striking and magical. The narrative in this particular animation is of an old man’s reminiscences about a young girl from his youth (Gig), of holding her hand, drinking in the bar and talking about cars. Near the end of the film, there is a visual moment of beauty, a fusion of sharp colored flowers, which seems to signify the potential warmth of our memories.
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations, as well as the animated music video.
