This music video was done by our camp a couple years ago. The artist, Estairy, is a long time childhood friend. We wanted to create a reality that combined both urban structures with elements of the natural world. The decision to use old footage from the movie, Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, was made because of two basic reasons. One to incorporate a beautiful background space for the tone of this project. And the other was to make a general statement about Hip Hop. Hip Hop’s roots were founded in the sampling of old music and remixing them so that they make for a modern tone and perspective. This music video was done in that same theory-to sample old footage and remix it. We wanted to incorporate a different perspective and re-introduce this amazing work to a new audience. The video starts off in the urban environment that we know so well and then travels to the environment that many of us don’t know so well-nature.

For more info on Estairy, his myspace site is HERE. He also has a new music video out, Independent Hustle. It’s always a great pleasure to collab with long time friends. Have a great weekend Arowana Life readers!
