Dudley Benson shares the visually striking new video for single Matariki!
New Zealand’s Dudley Benson is delighted to share his unique musical vision with a European audience as he releases the striking video for single Matariki, which premiered exclusively on Clash Magazine's website. In New Zealand, Matariki is the time of year when the Pleiades constellation appears in the midwinter sky, representing the Maori New Year. Māori see this as a time to think about people in their lives who have passed away, with the Matariki star cluster a channel to communicate with them. Working with Tokyo-based New Zealand illustrator Emile Holmewood, Dudley brings Matariki to life through a beguiling visual journey. The video takes inspiration from the research Dudley undertook when makingZealandia, exploring landforms, geology and what we can learn about ourselves from the Earth. As science meets pop, the Matariki video is a passage through time, creation and destruction, and millennia in a few minutes.
