Avalon Emerson has a new video for “Natural Impasse” off her EP Narcissus In Retrograde out now via Ghostly International/Spectral Sound. and today we watch her video for the album’s lead track, “Natural Impasse.”
Emerson grew up in Arizona, cut her teeth DJing and producing in San Francisco, before relocating to Berlin in recent years. The musician was just featured on Resident Advisor with an excellent interview/profile by Will Lynch. In discussing the production process for her new video, the artist explains:
“All of the clips are from my personal phone video archive taken over the last half a year or so. I trimmed each video, turned them into gifs, and processed them into various emojisaic gifs using a ruby script created by my friend Lucas Mathis (github: @lilkraftwerk); then edited them all together using Adobe Premiere–a process that took me about two months”.
While the resulting video is heavily effected, and often viewed through a prismatic veil of emojis, the personal footage culled from her phone archive makes for an intimate portrait of this jet-setting producer and DJ. You can catch Avalon Emerson live at these upcoming DJ gigs…
