Take
THREE SONGS.
THREE VISUALISERS. THREE VISIONS.
Charly has written several concepts for a series of visual work for the music artist Samfire. Alongside the main music video for the title song, Father, this involved visualisers for three songs: Vision, Reprise, and Take. Creating intimate performance videos intertwined with narrative elements, each song has its own distinct visual style and story.

TAKE
Released 1st April 2026
Credits
"Take is my retribution song. It's not a snapshot of my proudest moment, but oh well, there are worse things I could do. Despite capturing the 'end' of something, it's not a sad song and i love how its sinister side is masked by a euphoric, almost addictive quality."
- SAMFIRE
Shot on a mix of super 8 and digital, 'TAKE' is a candle lit and intimate video.

Vision
Released 6th May 2026
Credits
Vision is a song about a version of myself i don't fully understand. the one that feels lighter and more open but only seems to appear in certain moments, around certain people.
i wrote this while trying to figure out where she comes from."
- SAMFIRE
Vision uses double exposure to visualise the feeling of watching yourself.

Reprise
Released 17th July 2026
Credits
"Reprise is one of the darkest songs in this next chapter. A song about trying to recreate a feeling by obsessively replaying the moment you first felt it. Much of it was made late at night, surrounded by heavy bass and the trip-hop records I've always loved."
- SAMFIRE
With imagery inspired by the 2006 film of the same name, the video uses repetition to tell a story.
