After releasing his latest full length solo album "Incomprehensible" on
The End Records in January 2013, Andy Winter (Winds, Age of Silence,
Sculptured) now returns with his first ever music video; an artistic
collaboration by various talents in the realm of music, film and
fashion.
"As above, So Below" is the major tenet of the story.
The concept was inspired by numerology and the mystical relationship
numbers have in relation to existence and magic. The video follows the
creation and destruction of two creatures called Cause and Effect. We
watch as they chase each other above and below, forever tied in an
endless loop of creation and destruction. Cause and Effect are
inseparable, and together they function as one infinite character. The
styling of the video and creative direction aspires to pay homage to
black metal and the occult, while being heavily drenched in unearthly
technicolor, flesh/plastic and the divine feminine spirit.
Musically
speaking "Uncountably Infinite" is a stylistic departure from Andy
Winter's usual style of subdued and progressive art-rock. The sound
takes on a more metallic edge with harsher and rougher tones, featuring a
crunchy wall of guitars courtesy of Andy Winter himself, complimented
by the haunting and ravenous vocals of Mirai Kawashima (Sigh), throbbing
low end tones from bassist Jason William Walton (Agalloch, Sculptured),
groovy and sometimes funky drum foundations by Jan Axel von Blomberg
(Mayhem, Arcturus, Winds), and a shrieking/shredding guitar solo by
Donald Anderson (Agalloch, Sculptured).
Starring in the video is
actress and burlesque dancer Tristan Risk, most recently featured in the
cult horror film "American Mary" by The Soska Sisters. Other
contributors working behind the scenes to make this video come to
fruition include cinematographer Michael D. Kroetsch, production
assistant Matthew Burditt, makeup artist Betty Draven, director/fashion
designer Misty Greer, mixing engineer Shaun Thingvold and mastering
engineer Maor Appelbaum.
