Director Bobby Sansivero has an eye for great cinematography, his latest collaboration with Eddie Arjun takes the noir look, pairs it with a hazy New York night, while a dualism permeates the imagery in “Transition.”
Eddie Arjun (formerly known as ARJUN), are three-piece instrumental band from New York, that has been trailblazing their own hybrid of rock and improvisational jazz since 2003. Made up of Eddie Arjun Peters on guitar and a rotating band that fuses the power of rock with improvisational alternative jazz, resulting in a delicate balance of intricately crafted melodies backed by powerhouse musicianship.
The instrumentalist nature of Arjun’s music calls for visual content, following Eddie Arjun through out NYC, Sansivero plays off “Transition” as a theme invoking slow-motion side by side with jarring steel trains zipping the next frame, creating a disparate cohesion of hunger, and isolation.
Watching the water move with the alter-red frames will surely trip you out, this technique is used through out the video, notably the solo around the 3:34 mark and the water interspersed through have almost a synesthetic quality to them, but the dual images Eddie himself capture a hint of this dualism of transition from a former self into a new self, a brilliant visual trick by Sanivero.
Bobby Sansivero, stated, “The vision was just to interpret Eddie’s vision as best I could. To capture all aspects of an artist transitioning in an abstract way. That’s what Eddie stressed to me as it was very important to him because of his own personal growth and what the album concept is.”
