It’s been almost a month since we first heard Jamie xx’s latest track Sleep Sound and the week, a beautiful accompanying video was released. It sees the visual translation choreographed or constructed by London-based artist and poet Sofia Mattiolo.
The people dancing in the video are hearing-impaired and can’t actually hear the track – but they can feel the vibrations. Without getting too full on for your Sunday afternoon, that’s pretty damn powerful. The ethos behind Mattiolo’s work:
“I was on a train listening to music, getting deep into it, and this girl started staring at me. After a while I took my headphones off and she came up to me and wrote me a note to say that she was deaf but could almost feel the music by my movement”.
Hit play, entrance yourself.
