Lockdown Music Video

This is my latest track - Lockdown.

It began life as a drum loop I was processing for a sample pack I'm currently working on and quickly evolved into this piece of music. A disjointed track with two distinct parts, it begins with a brooding, ominous soundscape that seems to echo the fear and uncertainty of our current, collective reality - or at least the reality most mainstream media outlets would have us believe.

The video mimics the music with chaotic imagery and flickering visuals - a pandemic of matrix-glitching paranoia, in a cognitively dissonant mind, building into an inevitably horrific conclusion...

... but, all is not as it seems! Fear and paranoia soon dissipates into a serene and peaceful world. The music and aesthetics shift, delicately caressing the tangible and tactile world we experience, tinged with ripples of sadness and loss. But shining through it all comes the exquisite beauty of indomitable nature, that graces us each day anew.

Fear not, for fear is the weapon of those that wish to control and, when unjustified, the maker of myopic and bad decisions. Be mindful and question your reality, stay safe, stay strong, love and look out for one another. Do not give in to those that wish to keep you in lockdown, yourself included. We are all in this together - and knowing this, gives me great comfort.

Consciousness can change, can transmute, can evolve, but can never die.

Peace and love, as always, my brothers and sisters. Unknown ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcJm2UQygKY
