Mckone Corkery’s video for Wizard Death’s “hvn” juxtaposes images of nature with the industry and development that threatens it along with the human occupation of said environment. The sky color is keyed out of blue into a hazy purple pink at times and the chill beat with ambient tonal swells, softened electronic percussion and melodic arpeggios of the song sets a hopeful tone suggesting our often too easy comfort with our impact on the world around us whether the natural environment or upon each other. The song and the video invite us to consider being attentive to subtle details that can affect our mood for the positive or otherwise. The awareness this pairing of imagery and music cultivates without being dramatic or overly intrusive is one way to encourage mindfulness without combativeness.
