Floating Points - Silhouettes (Official Video)

‘Silhouettes’ is comprised of music from ’Silhouettes (I, II & III) which is taken from the debut album 'Elaenia', out now on Pluto in the UK / ROW, Luaka Bop in N&S America, Inertia in AU / NZ & Beatink in Japan.

Get ‘Elaenia’:

A message from the Directors:
An oscillating stream of light attempts to intrude on an arid natural landscape, abstract light and a living environment merge, reacting to the dynamics of the music.
The luminous abstract forms are produced by a light painting machine that, frame by frame, draws in a real environment the 3D animated figures.
This is an experimental video created by Pablo Barquín, Junior Martínez, Nathan Grimes and Anna Diaz Ortuño.

I swear that pull out at 2:57 to show the studio setting is the perfect cherry on top on a delicious cake of a music video. Hats off to everyone involved, it's an absolutely breathtaking piece of art.

When a song like this comes out to your ears for the first time, you just cannot help be positive and believe in life for the beauty it is giving back to you.

A friend of mine introduced me to the music of this band today....I am so glad he did as I was losing faith in all that was coming out in the world of is just stunning for the soul.

Wow looking at the comments it's really crazy that everyone just forgot about this song. One of my all time faves!

[MaxLamdin]

when you understand how technically hard it would be to create something like this, you appreciate this video so much more

[gilbarbara]

I wish they had extended this video to be the entire Silhouettes (I, II & III) song

[fgrecco]

This melody/chord progression at the beginning seems inspired by the last part of Milton Nascimento’s “Tema dos Deuses” .... beautiful!

[Max-DiscipleOfJesusChrist]

How did this song not get over 1 million views over time.. I do not comprehend it.. This is one of my favorite songs ever and... Man it deserves to be more known

[maybury]

Just sublime, really looking forward to this LP!

[amrevvmusic]

Maravilloso Floating Points. Lo oigo en Temuco, Chile hoy 22/01/2017.

I like the 10-minute version better, but the choirs at the beginning really add a lot to the overall feeling, they're a nice touch!
I'm downloading the audio from this video, I like this as an alternative version, it could be a single!
