Artax - Dust On Snow (Brad Hamers & Frietboer with Eigenheimer)

A music video with lyrics and performance by Brad Hamers and beats by Frietboer and Eigenheimer in which we reimagine the fate of Atreyu's beloved horse, Artax. Archival footage in the public domain is painstakingly pasted together in this collage that depicts the struggle to survive this mess. Musical phrases from the Swamp of Sadness scene are lifted, sampled and screwed by Netherlands beatmakers in this international collaboration with Brad Hamers and jdaugh who are based on Cowlitz/Clackamas territory in the Pacific Northwest. Artax makes it out of the Swamp of Sadness alive this time, and so can we, dear friends.
