The Blow: The Bath, video

Concept, art direction, production

The Bath accompanied the 2018 European release of Brand New Abyss, by The Blow. The song, an 11-minute experimental instrumental track, was our European single, and the fact that Europeans welcomed this as a promotional asset gave us a real sense of freedom. I and Melissa Dyne made the video together while at an artist residency in Zaragoza, Spain. The image is our silhouettes playing some of the electronic instruments that we use in live performances. The knobs and wires on the left are a video synthesizer that is being used to manipulate the colors and shapes in the projection. We shot about fifty versions of this video, each one resulting in a different visual composition. This one had the vibe.
