Experiencing Interruptions?

Secrets of Kandahar - Parallax

New-wave Synthpop [Synthwave] directed by Petr Chroustovský. This fully neon video is shot in one take. In the previous Saucers clip, Lena becomes a panta rhei - a hostage of peace between the Kandaharis from the desert planet and the Visitors from the water planet. In order to bring about a unification whether transdimensional, transplanter, or transcultural, Lena is teleported to the alien planet Atlantis Nova, where she travels trascendentally into the recesses of the alien civilization.

The search for identity and meaning: The protagonist struggles to understand himself and his place in the world, reflecting an inner conflict and desire for knowledge. The contrast between nature and technology: This contrast shows the tension between traditional values and modern life. Journey and destiny: The character is guided by the stars, suggesting that her journey is predestined, while also pointing to a desire for exploration and adventure. Mystery and Mysticism:The quest for water and the mysteries of the mind suggest that there are deeper truths and hidden aspects of existence that need to be revealed.

[Verse 1]
In the desert shadows waiting
Echoes of stars softly fading
My heart is drawn to water
Where the worlds weave and wander
Sand and waves in cosmic flight
Guiding me through the endless night

[Chorus]
Two worlds collide, interlace
Flowing through the timeless space
Binding dreams of sand and sea
In the dance of destiny

[Verse 2]
In the waters deep, I find
Whispered secrets of the mind
The sands whisper from afar
Guiding my journey by the stars
Where the two realms meet and sway
In Kandahar's misty day

[Chorus]
Two worlds collide, interlace
Flowing through the timeless space
Binding dreams of sand and sea
In the dance of destiny

[Bridge]
I hear the synth's haunting song
In these realms where I belong
As planets turn and shadows grow
Through the cosmic streams, we'll go

[Chorus]
Two worlds collide, interlace
Flowing through the timeless space
Binding dreams of sand and sea
In the dance of destiny

Petr Chroustovský, DiS. - graphic designer, game developer, director, digital creator, webmaster, 3D printer and last but not least, ISP network administrator of BEST-NET is a technoptimist who has long been involved in cybernetics, transhumanism and cyberpunk with a bizarre sense of humor.

He studied mechatronics at the Secondary School of Industrial, Technical and Automotive Engineering in Jihlava and the Secondary and Higher School of Applied Cybernetics in Hradec Kralove in the field of Computer Art and Design.
