DELPHIC – IN THE QUIETNESS
Directed and edited by Leif Johnson, In The Quietness is an experimental music video exploring the contrast between nature, technology and perception.
The creative concept centres on two parallel realities existing within the same forest. By day, Delphic perform in a stark, natural environment. By night, the identical compositions transform into a surreal, laser-filled world of colour, smoke and light. Rhythmic jump cuts between these realities create a hypnotic visual experience, moving from quiet minimalism to an immersive, almost ritualistic rave.
At the heart of the film sits a mysterious, ultra-matte black sphere, an unexplained void that absorbs light and remains constant as the world around it transforms.
Shot in Macclesfield Forest, the film takes a minimalist, performance art approach, combining striking cinematography, practical lighting effects and music-driven editing to create something both cinematic and otherworldly.
