We spent so much time working on this song in the studio and now it's finally scheduled to be released out to the public.

06/25/21  SUMMER OF LOVE MUSIC VIDEO RELEASED  

The concept for the music video is based on the diamond mines in Africa. The only people making money are the corporations who own the mines, not the miners who are faced with manual labor. It's really a metaphor for waking up and taking control of our lives, life is too short to waste our time chasing the mighty dollar. You can watch the entire video on our video page or on Fourtrac Creative's Vimeo Channel.

11/23/18  MUSIC VIDEO DESIGNED AND ANIMATED BY CHUS SARRIÓN

The concept of the story is based on a protagonist who is about to embark on a journey out to sea. He sails into the rising sun and on through the night. Sailing and navigating by map, compass, stars, and the sun, he is unaware of the danger that lies ahead. We were very fortunate to work with Chus Sarrión, an artist from Madrid, Spain, who seamlessly transformed the conceptual ideas into mesmerizing interpretations of organic illustration and animation. Chus' rough drafts were so interesting and took on a unique life of their own. Once we started to see the final animations we knew we had something special and far more interesting than we had ever imagined. You can watch the video on our Video Page and also on Fourtrac Creative's Vimeo Page.
