ABOUT

The song “Violet Hum” is probably the most eccentric track on the Arthur Brothers’ upcoming debut album. It is quite a collage of styles and states of mind, so it was a great chance for me as a director and animation artist to mix different techniques and to try out different styles. The brothers are thrown into different realms, from whimsical worlds of giant goddesses or a police state residing on a back of a grumpy fish to messy abstract subconscious states of mind, where chaos and cosmos collide. And it’s not really clear if they are actually travelling, or is it a desired and feared adventure of the discovery of self, or they are just trapped in some bardo or limbo. There’s a trickster distracting or guiding them, there’s a wizard overseeing their journey, there’s dangers and temptations on the way, and it’s not even clear what kind of treasure they are looking for - they just answer their inner call and see where the journey takes them.
