Elixir – A Post Rock Improvisation

Legend has it a secret elixir is stashed in a buried castle on a volcanic mountain in the middle of a dark forest in Europe. Many quests have been made to recover the magical liquid but all of them end in obscurity with all party members disappearing forever into a dark chasm. If you are lucky enough to recover the elixir and drink it you will have eternal life… Strangely enough there are numerous stone statues surrounding the pedestal where the elixir is exhibited… For sure this time the quest will be successful as they all take a sip of the liquid… Ten seconds later they turn to stone and become another statue in the gallery of the castle. Here they will stay eternally watching as others make the same mistake.

The video was recorded with insta 360 and edited in After Effects with a trippy overlay made frame by frame in Adobe Firefly. Audio was recorded directly with a Zoom H6 and the guitar was reamped with Guitar Rig 7. Drums programmed with an Akai MPK Mini in EZ Drummer 3 using the Post Rock drum library.

That’s all for now, thanks for looking 😊
