Listen to the full-length version of "Columbia" on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3ZXDPGBdCEl2urLO229p7B Music: Jake Chudnow Video Editing: Jake Chudnow + Wenting Zhu Footage: Beauty of Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYmL90kuJusvrpVv3B60Rsg The musical intent of "Columbia" is to inspire the listener to feel removed from their daily patterns and habits, reuniting them with the surroundings that they would have otherwise forgotten to see and hear. This makes for an opportune collaboration with Beauty of Science, who's videos show the viewer how absolutely stunning the world can be, if they have the tools or revelation to look at it in a new way. Their work creates a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder, and inspires questions about what the world is made of and the stuff that makes us. A realisation that surreal beauty is all around us. In Columbia, the Beauty of Science footage is assembled to tell the story of the early formation of the earth, mixing of the elements, sprouting of life, and finally human creativity. Where new elements are introduced to create a beautiful disruption. As if the chemicals on screen as well as the listeners' sensual awareness are reacting to the music like a substance does when a new chemical is introduced.
