“I have an old-fashioned idea about music videos—I think the videos
should relate to the music. Some videos seem as if you could swap out
the music and no one would be the wiser, but I didn’t want that to be
the case with Ryan and Mira’s video. I wanted to make something that was
a specific expression of their music. It was a bit tricky, inasmuch as
their music is instrumental. So what’s it about, really? How to visually
express it? Firstly, I knew they’d taken this trip to Greece together,
and guessed it must have been an important trip, because hell, Ryan
named the album after it: ‘Road to Palios.’ So it seemed like an obvious
choice to make the video some kind of journey to idyllic Palios,
probably starting from the urban hell-scape of Portland, Oregon (where
he lives).” Matt Kresling, director
Road To Palios by Ryan Francesconi and Mirabai Peart is out now via Bella Union.
