With my friend, NY painter Kyle Nouse, we set out to transform my studio into an art igloo for the ‘Dirge’ album release party. Kyle drew visual interpretations of the songs, which were then hung in the room the album was created in. The 30 minute installation turned into a 5 day process where everything had to be kept intact for the fidelity of the footage. Close to finishing the installation we realized we were off with our calculations and used drawings from Kyle’s last show to complete it. Needless to say we missed the album release date but had some fun in the process. The product of this claustrophelic accident is a 1:30 DIY stop motion video and few photos, which are a true representation of the music, the space it was recorded in and the artist behind the visuals.

"Jibni" - from ‘Dirge’ (LP - 2013)

This #stopmotion #video was filmed in #Beirut on New Years Eve 2012 (watch the #fireworks). Each shot has at least 4 second of exposure, so the whole video took a quadrillion times four seconds to shoot. Featuring ample blinding lazer and standing still.
