Harlequins enigma, an electronica band hailing from Norway, showcased a near-psychedelic music video for its single, "Moon phase", off of their fourth album, Stargazer. Trippy, and intentionally offbeat, the video takes you on a journey across the universe.
The MV for "moon phase" is extremely simple and straightforward. Pictures of constellations, galaxies, comets, and other celestial bodies are show. The editing is rather rough, but this forces the viewer into the endless space depicted in the video and evoked in the band's music. Each picture is more astounding than the last, leaving viewers awed at the universe's unrivaled beauty.
With exaggerated synth chords and distortions, the single itself reflects the universe's mysterious allure. The single's hallowing sounds are doubled by the haunting echoes. When the listener closes his or her eyes, he or she is truly no longer in this world.
Founded in 2008, harlequins enigma is from Bergen in Norway. Since 1991, the members have experimented with music using amiga 500 & tracking software. Their music are mainly based on 8-bit 16-bit values.
