Director Statement

'Disintegrate (Ethereal Mix)' is based on a track from my acclaimed 2023 album 'Natural Darkness'. The song and visuals echo the shattered pieces of a broken relationship, leaving behind a desolate landscape of memories, with the protagonist retreating into a primal state, a cocoon of pain.
