Watch Music Video: Delightful by Katie Garibaldi

“From a letter to a friend” documents a desperate need. Shot exclusively with a 500mm fixed telephoto lens, the film explores the simultaneous distance and closeness of interacting with another. The inevitable failures of communication, the impossibility of translation, and despite it all, our unceasing, absolute need for companionship. Language can only do so much. We have to do the everything else.

Watch Music Video: Origami – M. Del Carpio

Martin del carpio origami 3The video aims to capture a raw, organic, tactile energy by scratching and painting directly onto found super 8mm celluloid film. I wanted the film to feel like it’s barely holding itself together and the whole thing could collapse at any moment. The film spontaneously flickers and burns, until it loses stability entirely and begins to break apart.

Origami is basically a spontaneous fold of sounds with the impulse of being able to soar in the sky and not be afraid to crash on the ground below as the aftereffect. It’s an organic expression of our own sensibilities. – Martin Del Carpio (Music Artist)
