The Band Together (http://kingarthur.com/the-band-together/) is an audio and visual experimental band. One of the concepts being played with is to convey lyrics without using language… in theory, trying to send a message that everyone can understand.
This music video uses flooding footage shot over the last 48 hours in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania as the audio and visual tapestry for a soundtrack called, “Here Comes The Flood”.
The sound and video of the roaring water were recorded in real time. Hmmm… I suppose you could call this reality music?
The message the band hopes to convey is one of awareness. Much of the world’s population is in danger of rising sea levels and floods. Global warming brings increased volatility to weather systems. The responsibility for the climate change is something to consider.
