Video description: Directed by Melissa Olson, the first ever official music video from Boards of Canada is truly a thing of beauty. Suspended on the edge of space in a balloon, an astronaut looks down at the beautiful planet earth and prepares to dive in. Leaping from the balloon, he floats down through the earth's atmosphere, dense cloud cover and into the ocean. The daredevil voyager emerges from the chaos of the sea on a surf board, riding a huge wave to the shore. Using reassembled documentary footage, the video to "Dayvan Cowboy" translates the power and atmosphere of Boards Of Canada's music into a dreamlike, imaginary journey from space, into the sea and to the shore, in one continuous sequence.

Blume: "Piove Piano"

Blume leads us in a fairy and dreamy universe, accessible only to those who desire to wander with childish glances.From the roofs of toy-houses, the Blume-home lights on. Into a melancholic and beautiful canvas, candid atmospheres mix with improbable paper-skies and humid gum-streets. Town views open on into imaginary panoramas and outlines, where nature?s movements are seen in new shapes and dimensions. White dancing clouds run after each other in a game among light, colors and shadows. Blume move as evanescent characters in weird spots, they stroll about un-real places from outside our immanent reality. Fragile figures likely disappearing from time to time? are you really capable to describe a dream? Blume are: Francesca Storai Matteo Zanobini Dario Brunori Mixed by Paolo Favati, produced by Paolo Favati and Blume
