Filmed in spring 2025 following a flash-rainstorm that caught me by surprise while out on a run. I’ve never run so fast to the top of the mountain. When I was fully drenched, the skies cleared. So I stopped to dry in the sun and this bird came to me. The footage glitches like a filter at moments, because my phone was soaked, one of the back-cameras was filled with water…
These are two tracks written for this same event, flamenco-fusion and hypnotic dirty south loops, modeled after this bird’s moves and swag, and merged in a water ritual. I’ve been doing quite a few of these rituals since the Santeria event. And the French versions are even crazier.
