Filmed in a WWII bunker somewhere in East L.A., the video for the Pakistani-American composer Qasim Naqvi owes most of its eerie, alien-like feel to the bone breaking of alternative street dancer/contortionist Matthew 'ET' Gibbs. The mathematical shapes of his tutting are a perfect visual parallel to the bleeps and whooshes of Neqvi’s analog synth and the muscular twitching makes it look like Gibbs’ body is directly linked with the music. Uncanny.
