Danish duo Hellas bring us the new video to their track POP Part I shot in Toronto by William Wivel. Together the pair craft delicate experimental works comprised of piano and drums, pushing the boundaries of their respective instruments. They draw influence from both modern composers such as Xenakis and James Tenney as well as ambient-pioneers like Harold Budd and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Lifted from their latest EP POP, the title track is an ambient exploration of the minimal style that sees Hellas perform exclusively on an acoustic grand piano with drums. The whole track is played live with no dubbing, synths or editing, striving to see what sound they could create with as many layers as possible from just two instruments. Shot on 16mm film, the video perfectly captures the sound in visual form with a collection of poignant lo-fi scenes.
