Screaming Bones, the experimental solo project of musician Mike Ludwig, has released a captivating new music video for ‘Fragile…Strong,’ a track from the latest album Rocks. This mesmerizing visual journey encapsulates both the horrors and the beauty of the world, creating an unforgettable audiovisual experience.
The video for ‘Fragile…Strong’ crafts an eerie and evocative atmosphere through a series of haunting black-and-white still images that drift across the screen. As the video progresses, a striking red balloon emerges, punctuating the monochrome visuals with a quiet, yet powerful presence. The imagery begins to take on a life of its own—the motionless scenes seem to breathe, with branches subtly swaying, birds appearing to take flight, a sheep blinking, and a hangman swinging silently in the wind. The result is a hypnotic experience that lingers in the viewer’s mind, leaving behind a profound sense of awe and reflection.
The haunting visuals are perfectly complemented by the ethereal soundscape of ‘Fragile…Strong.’ Floating atop dreamy harmonics and wailing guitar melodies, the song embodies the paradox of fragility and strength, capturing an emotional depth that is both melancholic and hopeful. The video culminates in a feeling of renewal, subtly reminding us of the beauty and love that persist in the world.
‘Fragile…Strong’ is a standout track from Rocks, Screaming Bones’ latest album. Created in Ludwig’s home studio near Darmstadt, Rocks is a masterclass in experimental sound design. Utilizing a Headrush Looperboard and an array of modulated guitar tones, Ludwig has woven a rich sonic tapestry that fuses psychedelic rock, experimental jazz, and hypnotic basslines. Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic sounds of the '60s and '70s while paying homage to punk and wave, Rocks is an album that thrives on exploration and raw emotion.
With ‘Fragile…Strong,’ Screaming Bones invites listeners into an introspective world where sound and image blend seamlessly into a profound artistic expression.
