El Guincho - Bombay

This has to be one of the most amazing music videos I have ever seen.
It is always a real treat to watch a music video that can also be seen as art.

"The cosmos is all there is,
or ever was, or ever will be.
The cosmos is also within us.
We are made of stars.
We are about to begin a journey through the cosmos.
Through the story of our own planet,
and the plants and animals that share it with us.
It's a story about us.
We wish to pursue the truth, no matter where it leads.
But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both.
We are going to explore the cosmos in the ship of the imagination.
Perfect as a snowflake,
Light as a feather,
The ship will take us to worlds of dreams, and worlds of facts.
Come with me."

El Guincho - Bombay



The musician's name is Pablo Diaz-Reixa, who goes by the name of El Guincho.

The work is about wonder and discovery, as you see, Guincho documenting the sights and sounds around him with his field recorder in hand, playing the part of anthropologist to these new sensory images.
It is a journey that exists out of time and in no particular order. It exists within reality and beyond reality.

If you're more curious to find out about this artist, here is a video from XLR8R tv channel on Youtube of Pablo talking about his influences.
