LUAP "Arredondo" clip

Check this nice and microscopic image based clip that Nanodoce made for "Arredondo" track from "Dobra", LUAP's album. Based on an idea from MP19 and almost with a handmade flavour, we really love the track and the pace of the images that capture perfectly the organic vibe of LUAP's track adding a twist of sci-fi details. The atmosphere is dark and the images really intriguing, but the track adds a sunny and melancholic side to the whole. Really enjoyable!

He has compiled a bunch of favorite tracks for a new compilation of the program entitled "Siglo 21. 7.0" including a new track from forthcoming Fibla's album "Liants". Other artists in the compilation are Spanish Dorian and Astrud and megastars as Cocorosie, Air or Antony and The Johnson, Dominique A or Herman Düne.
