A Mind-Bending Whale Quest from Director Jonathan Turner
After creating a shapeshifting digital vortex for Glasser’s Interiors album, New York artist Jonathan Turner conjures a wave of metallic orcas in his video for “Beluga” by the young Norwegian producer Pandreas. “Before I had heard the track I was thinking about Norway; ice-carved landscapes, mysterious island chains and Ingmar Bergman,” says Turner of the serendipitous inspiration. “I wondered about how that relates to electronic music and I thought about the electrically charged fractal landscapes of Hiroshi Sugimoto.” Fate or coincidence, the elegiac cut from the Bergen-based Pandreas was further brought to CGI life when Turner, a member of multimedia art collective Yemenwed and a professor at Parsons School of Design, stumbled across the Invanpah Solar Electric Generating Station in the Mojave desert. “It seemed this really alien juxtaposition,” says the director, who has previously collaborated on art and fashion films with the likes of Tauba Auerbach and Hood By Air. “It was entrancing and beautiful, but also a very radical transformation of the environment.”
Beluga EP by Pandreas is out now via Sellout! Music
