Synopsis
A first-person journey aboard a Japanese commuter train becomes increasingly disorienting as the carriage, tracks, and passing scenery slide through a haze of distortion. The camera remains in motion, observing the ride from inside and through the windows, while Matthewdavid's warped electronic textures and unstable rhythms reshape the trip into something dreamlike and hallucinatory. By the end, the straightforward train ride seems to have crossed into an unfamiliar, altered environment.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was presented in May 2011 alongside Matthewdavid's album *Outmind*, released through Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label.
- Its central visual material is footage from a Japanese commuter train, shot from a first-person perspective as the vehicle moves through the landscape.
- The video's sense of motion mirrors the track's heavily processed sound, which is built from warped beats, tape hiss, and unstable electronic textures.
- The clip was described at the time as becoming increasingly hallucinogenic, with the train journey eventually arriving somewhere that feels removed from ordinary reality.
- "Noche y Dia / San Raphael" is the second track on *Outmind*. The album was issued in April 2011 and helped establish Matthewdavid's hazy, experimental approach within the Brainfeeder orbit.
