The emphasis is on creating a visual aesthetic that focuses upon the progressive, building nature of the music form.


The idea of exhalation is integral to the pace of the track. The calming repeat of the vocals instil the dreamlike atmosphere. The underlying tone is that of a dark lucid dream. The narrative twists and turns guiding you along unknown paths. Movements are slow and cautious, however somehow curious. Reactions are stunted.


It's as if we are drifting in and out of consciousness. Each shot is inspired by weightlessness and focuses on lucidity in the motion. It blurs the boundaries between a realistic and dreamlike state. The moments before we fall asleep and reach a state of complete relaxation.
