Synopsis

A man sits down to eat a bowl of soup, only to discover that his spoon is full of holes. Each attempt to lift the soup becomes an exercise in pointless repetition, as the liquid drains away before it reaches his mouth. The deliberately absurd setup unfolds with a deadpan, non sequitur quality, turning an ordinary meal into a small study in frustration. The simple visual gag mirrors the track's hazy, off-kilter electronic mood.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was published on YouTube on July 20, 2011, by the SynesthesiaeFilms channel.
  • "Diptera" originally appeared on REID's *Genesis* EP.
  • The track was later issued digitally alongside "Fall" on February 20, 2012. "Diptera" was described at the time as a compressed, quiet-loud synth workout, while "Fall" was characterized by a more rolling arrangement with bells and heavy beats.
  • The song was used in *From The Inside Out*, a documentary made by the US production company Second Base Films. The film's soundtrack also included music by Chase & Status, Nero, and Digitalism.
  • A contemporary description of the clip called it "non-sensical," highlighting its intentionally impractical central prop rather than presenting a conventional narrative.
