Explosions in the Sky Unveil Collaboration Project ‘Scenes From The Wilderness’

Explosions in the Sky have unveiled a surprise aural and visual art collaboration, Scenes from the Wilderness, timed with the release of their first non-soundtrack album in five years, The Wilderness (Temporary Residence Ltd), Scenes from the Wilderness serves as both a visual companion to the record and a standalone art project.

Scenes from the Wilderness is on view now at TheWilderness.spaceTo create the interactive video series fans can explore within the site, the band collaborated with multimedia designers CHIPS to add movement to nine still photographs taken by EITS guitarist Munaf Rayani. Rayani has served as band documentarian for the past 16 years, and the photos he chose for this project represent snapshots from their relentless worldwide touring over that time period.

Adam Squires of CHIPS on working with Explosions in the Sky on the project:

“We’ve been fans of EITS for years, so we were thrilled to work with them…the band gave us a folder of striking and mysterious photos from their worldwide excursions—cryptic travelogue. We chose one to go with each track, and worked with Eric Overton, an amazing animator and visual effects artist, to slowly alter and degrade it, turning it into a sort of moving painting.”.
