A few days ago we unveiled the teaser to a piece we’re particularly eager to share with you. A long time in the works, the video for Chafik Chennouf ‘Ferroequinologie‘ (taken from his upcoming tape EP ‘Dual Aspect‘ on Opal Tapes) lures you into a parallel universe that oozes nothing but nighttime terror and situational claustrophobia.
Directed, designed and animated by Thomas de Rijk – who’s put his top-notch skills to use for famed platforms such as MTV and Adult Swim, the malleable 3D visual illustration to ‘Ferroequinologie‘ equals the creeping compound of humming anxiety and sudden high-pressure bursts already present in Chennouf’s severed sound design.
These nightmarish visions wouldn’t be complete without the 360-degree experience, which allows you to immerse further deep into the darkest nooks of this murky (slaughterhouse?) apartment. From the desperately barren atmosphere of the first floor – minus a few pieces of rotten meat here and there – to the weird encounters you’ll make when heading to the mezzanine, this one’s got enough chills to make you quiver for the season.
- Best viewed using YouTube and Google Cardboard (for camera motion).
