Hong Kong artist Lam Ho Tak has crafted a beautiful video for the Olafur Arnalds track ‘Near Light’.
Last year Icelandic artist Olafur Arnalds set himself a challenge. The musician decided to write and record an EP in only a few days, using video cameras to show fans the creative process.
Released as ‘Living Room Songs’ the results were fragile, beautiful, inspired. Out on Erased Tapes, the music seems to be making an impact with Hong Kong artist Lam Ho Tak inspired to craft a new video.
Using the track ‘Near Light’ as a point of inspiration, Lam Ho Tak completed a new clip. Working completely alone, Erased Tapes didn’t hire the director – he simply felt moved enough to craft a short film.
Placed online, you can stream the video for ‘Near Light’ below.
