Harvey Sutherland returns today to share the stunning video for the lead single from the Amethyst 12″, a jazz-leaning broken beat odyssey born out of sessions with London-based saxophonist Nubya Garcia and drummer Kahlil Memphis.
Directed by acclaimed visual artist Nic Hamilton (Kelela, SOPHIE, Hudson Mohawke), the video features Melbourne-born dancer Michael Scott-Kahans performing an arresting interpretation of “Amethyst”, choreographed by by Kalman Warhaft (Australian Ballet School, Opera Australia).
The dance cycles through a hynotising array of abstract, repeating patterns that bring to life the various dream-like states that inspired the track. The dancer travels through three altered states of consciousness, each one visualised through distinct washes of colour and fractured light.
Pilerats have today shared a stunning behind-the-scenes gallery of the shoot by photographer Lisa Businovski, which you can view here.
