"Iron Orchid" Video Album featured on I CARE IF YOU LISTEN

"Kaleidoscopic images of a pianist’s hands are interspersed with exaggerated shots of empty interiors. A flower emerges from a milky substance; another is submerged in violet water, its petals fleshy and viscous. The music moves from expansive to pointed; piano and electronics blend and contrast, creating satisfying articulations and sandpapery tension.

Thanks to the collaborative approach of pianist Ning Yu and composer David Bird, their music video for Iron Orchid embodies an organic seamlessness between sound, sound-producing tools, and visuals that is startlingly effective. This is a musical narrative that irritates as it mesmerizes, less balanced than enhanced and complementary, keeping the listener locked in to what could possibly come next."
