"I was watching Michael Snow's Wavelength (in increments) while working on these songs and the room for interpretation of what I saw and heard felt large. Every time I watched it carved a new emotion out of me. Despair, hope and inspiration. I wanted to ask more of listeners, to want to take time-not just pause, but ask yourself can you untangle all of the mess and try again."
"The central metaphor of this video, the origami heart, represents a person processing their emotions. By focusing on a simple physical task like folding, the inner mind is freed to meditate subconsciously. I wanted to depict the mindset of someone who is a little bit overwhelmed by fleeting thoughts, but working to channel them into something positive."
"the day-to-day push and pull that can lead to being overwhelmed with more of everything,"
Helado Negro will release a five-song EP titled The Last Sound on Earth on November 7 as his debut release for Big Dada. The EP is inspired by Roberto Carlos Lange's reflection on what the last sound he will hear before death might be. The single "More" addresses the day-to-day push and pull that can lead to feeling overwhelmed. Lange describes waking and hearing his ears tune into the world like a blanket being pulled off his eardrums and cites Michael Snow's Wavelength as an emotional influence during the songwriting. Annapurna Kumar's lyric video uses an origami heart to depict processing emotions.
