Alphabets Heaven - Deartentonine

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

The video presents a time-lapse journey through the life cycle of a giant Amazon water lily. A bud rises from the water, opens into a striking flower, and becomes a temporary trap for a pollinating beetle. The insect moves through the flower and is coated in pollen before the bloom changes and releases it. Set against Alphabets Heaven's fragmented electronic beat, the natural footage takes on a dreamlike, almost surreal quality.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Deartentonine" appears on Alphabets Heaven's 2012 EP "Boosh," released by the Vancouver-based label King Deluxe.
  • The visuals are borrowed from David Attenborough's 1995 BBC nature documentary series "The Private Life of Plants."
  • The central sequence shows a pollinating beetle being held inside the flower of a giant Amazon water lily for approximately 24 hours.
  • The video was assembled and edited by PK rather than being filmed specifically for the track.
  • The clip's appeal comes from the contrast between the highly processed, stuttering electronic production and footage documenting a precise natural process. The music gives the botanical time-lapse an abstract, otherworldly atmosphere.
  • "Deartentonine" is the fourth and closing original track on "Boosh." The EP also includes remixes by Headshotboyz, Robot Koch, and wAgAwAgA.
