Emkay - Bonobo (Unofficial Music Video/Visualiser)

This video tested my ageing computer to its very limits and will probably continue to work as an upgrade is imminent. Was a fun experiment I started earlier this year using maps as a source material to create abstract images (you can find that here: williamv1303.myportfolio.com/edits ). With this project I did the same but with animation to one of my favourite Bonobo tracks.

I tried to incorporate the maps of places where I have lived in the past and journeys that are notable and have stuck in the imagination. I started with Brighton and the surrounding South Downs, the city I currently reside in and the birthplace of Bonobo's. This follows with distorted images of the town of my upbringing, Croxley Green, as well as a lot of glimpses of Northwest London and the surrounding area. There is a lot of Corvallis, Oregon, where I spent my study year abroad and a place where the surrounding natural landscapes have been an inspiration to me ever since. Towards the end I feature some of my favourite and most personally iconic road journeys: Corvallis to Newport and then up the oregon coast, and Corvallis through the Santiam Mountain pass through the Cascade mountains.

I can replicate this style of music visualisation for virtually anywhere that you can buy a map for, so custom recreations for future music videos can be commissioned.
