PLEAMAR

Pleamar is a short film that links three tracks from @adriandyealfonso latest album, Viator @mapledeathrecords

“One day, after witnessing one of my wildest and most chaotic live performances with FM transmitters and radios that I can remember, Jorge told me that he had just got hold of some obscure lost video material by one of our favourite directors: Jacinto Esteva,” he explains. “He told me that the material, which portrayed the hunting of a wildebeest in Mozambique, bore strange similarities to my new ways of making music.

Fontana elaborates on the conceptual links between footage of a hunt and de Alfonso’s music: “Essentially, the video for Pleamar tries to convey the impression I get every time I listen to Adrián’s new album,” he says. “Songs that crawl like beasts on the prowl, watching and sniffing out your steps in a constant tension. And each new listen becomes a deadly scenario of hunters and hunted where nobody’s going to escape.”

Viator, which means traveller in Latin, was recorded using piezos and cheap microphones in de Alfonso’s bedroom in Berlin, a bathroom without vents in the Alpujarra of Granada, and some desert locations around Almería.
