Clockwise is a 1986 British comedy film starring John Cleese, directed by Christopher Morahan, written by Michael Frayn and produced by Michael Codron. The film's music was composed by George Fenton.
For his performance Cleese won the 1987 Peter Sellers Award For Comedy at the Evening Standard British Film Awards. Most urban scenes were shot in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, while rural scenes were largely shot in Shropshire.
Clockwise is a Swedish music project, formed by Benny Söderberg in 1995
The singer and songwriter Benny Söderberg Fortune (music group from Sweden) asked the musicians John Levén Bass, Ian Haugland Drums from Europe and guitarplayer Jan Granvik (Glory) to play on his coming album. Benny did meet John and Ian when they were playing with Glenn Hughes and Benny's previous band Fortune (music group from Sweden) opened for Glenn Hughes on his Japan tour in 1994, and guitar player Jan Granwick(Glory) have Benny known for years so he was also asked to participate.
Benny felt that he wanted to make an album with all the elements that he thought a good album should have, nice melody and good musician ship. Not just jump onto the next music scene that appears 'cause it has changed. Together with Christer Wedin at Empire Records they set plans for this project. The debut album " Nostalgia " is an album filled with strong melodies, tasteful arrangements, good musician ship and great sound, the later created by Ronny Lahti ( Europe, Talisman, Saigon Kick), is incredible. 1999.
After the successful release of Clockwise debut album "Nostalgia", which received rave reviews all over the world, the second album called "Naïve", was released. And again, Benny Söderberg asked his musician friends, who participated on the first album, to record this follow up album. Therefore, you will again find, John Levén bass and Ian Haugland drums from Europe, as the solid rhythm section. Contractual reason made it impossible for guitar player Jan Granwick to participate on this second record. Therefore, the guitar axe man Fredrik Åkesson ( Talisman, Arch Enemy, Southpaw now with Opeth) was asked to play with Clockwise on this record and so he did.
Songs that catch strong melody and brilliant musical performance are Clockwise trademark, and the second album "Naive" is filled with this. Benny Söderberg has again written all the material, and no one will mistake his feeling for writing songs with his special harmony and feeling.
Benny has also recorded a demo for Clockwise 3rd album, (maybe) to be named "nothing is the greatest thing". On this demo Benny plays all instruments, except bass, which is played by John Levén, and for this demo Jan Granwick plays all guitars. The songs featured on this demo are "Our Roads Never Cross", "If You Change Your Mind" and "Demon In The Dim". You can also expect the ending for the song "the tales of King Solitude" that started with part 1:3 on the first album, continued with "the tales of King Solitude 2:3" on the second album, and now to be ended with "the tales of King Solitude 3:3" on the 3rd album.
Circular motion can occur in two possible directions. A clockwise (typically abbreviated as CW) motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English) anticlockwise (ACW), or (in North American English) counterclockwise (CCW). In a mathematical sense, a circle defined parametrically in a positive Cartesian plane by the equations and is traced anticlockwise as t increases in value.
