This track is the one that resonates with me the most so far…
It has been a long time since my last post, but honestly… if I have nothing to say I don’t want to push myself to write or do anything I don’t believe in, and this is why sometimes I prefer to stay quiet until something awakens.
This is more or less my feelings while writing this post, looking at the work done so far believing in what I am doing, feeling it and craving to share it with you all.
And exactly it is what I am talking about with this track that, so far, resonates the most with me and FOR me.
Let’s jump back to the days the track was completed, it sounded good and I felt it was ready to be shared with the world, but first I wanted to share it with someone special, a great friend of mine from Mofriz Media: this guy is Kristian Mantalvanos (or Frizau on Instagram) which I met after an amazing work done with Emilia Pason (videomaker and photographer) and Sofia Tomasin (a truly 360° artist, painter, dancer and actress). Also, George Sandru (check him on Spotify or Instagram) had the pleasure to work with Kristian and his drone… and shortly after the video he did for George, I had the pleasure to drive the car down to Glendalough to shoot the video of Alessandro Zangrando “What’s Behind The Dusk” (watch it here). And that day I was shocked (seriously) seeing how Kristian tries to print on a video the essence of the moment, the music, the artist and all those little shades that can be felt when you close your eyes and follow the music flow.
Shortly after, I shared “Inner Power” with Kristian saying “I have a feeling that this video should be different, not just shooting somewhere… but some animations and explosions. Don’t you think?”
Kristian, after listening to the track for the first time, said “Definitely”.
And this is how the concept behind the video of “Inner Power” started: I was seeing this force that awakes, Kristin was seeing these cryptic figures fighting one against the other, the Greys as we started to call them until the Golden One shows up to make order in all that chaos.
Kristian showed me the first draft, hitting the point straight away: I will try to give you a little more details about the madness that happens in the video (you can see it below if you haven’t yet).
As you can see, we have a nice guy walking in this empty space, shining in his silver dress and helmet.
He is walking toward us, getting ready and immediately another Grey shows up pushing him down.
The second guy is not quite “as proud” as the first one, he looks scared, running away from something, and little by little we have more Greys that start fighting ferociously one against the other, like our thoughts, constantly going one against the other.
Do you get the point?
Can you see what I am saying?
That space is our head (the brand should give you a hint, more or less) and the more chaos is happening, the more fighting, this is starting to push the Golden One to “wake up” and “do something” otherwise the whole “world” will collapse… Our heads will not be able to face all this confusion and madness, because of bad thoughts, ideas, toxic people, relationships and fake news… EVERYTHING is going inside your brain and your thoughts start fighting in order to survive, you are fighting against yourself in order to keep your pure essence alive.
But it is not enough: we need help, a help that comes from inside, it has always been there since the beginning, the Golden One will bring back balance.
There will be a fight, there will be casualties, you can be damaged but you are not bleeding, everything is inside your head, but yes, the pain is real (I am not saying that taking back the balance has happy and stress-free steps… unfortunately sometimes we have to deal with pain during the process).
After all, your Inner Power will give you strength as it always does.
And the way Kristian has shown this… still amazes me.
That’s why this track resonates with me the most so far.
