We Miss You And Wish You Well (Official Video)

Sofaburn Records

Watching this video, filmed and directed by Clyde Petersen, is like drinking a strong, but relaxing cup of tea. Soft focus, flying above the clouds, with long shots of Mount St. Helens, the effect is soothing and meditative.

The music is amplified cello with effects, and the playing is very intricate. Interlocking little melodies, drones, and rhythms going everywhere, with lots of textures making the pieces fit together, it suggests many things going on below the surface, not necessarily bad, just contemplative.

Sit down with your favorite hot beverage, or maybe iced tea, and watch this. It’s a nice way to unwind after a long day, or just take a break in the middle of a busy one. This is a great video, and it’s always a joy to hear some good cello playing.
