video premiere: afro-surrealism meets experimental music in “all night” by oliver katibi stalmans

Theatrical as hell, “all night” by https://www.instagram.com/oliverstalmans/Oliver Katibi Stalmans starring musician Elisha is an Afro-surrealist visual project inspired by the eternal flame of transformation. It’s a metaphorical surrendering of self in order to become who one is destined to be: “the one”.With the assistance of Elisha’s vocal and the otherworldly soundscape  ( credit at bottom ) the music and experimental vocals lead us down this journey of discovery.

“Inspired by the eternal flame of transformation it sparks the seed of “ the rise”.

Being the debut video of both artist it was of great importance to Oliver that the video had hidden codes of awakening force.
The surrendering of self in order to truly transform and become “the one”.

Assisted by the alchemy of sound and vocals of Elisha the narrator takes us on a journey of self-discovery.
invoked by the elements of life the sound design has a shamanic tone mixing elements of breath, water, air, insects, jungle and stripped down vocals in a reset of Elisas debut single all night.

With the dream within a dream like visuals it plays with the idea of perception and letting go in order to become, and it truly has a magnetic pull leaving the viewer wanting more.”
