Belgian Goth Rock project Ahráyeph has started work on its first official videoclip.
Says Raf : "With several fan videos of various songs already circulating on Youtube, I felt it was time for something official. This is quite a new territory for me, but one I've been in the process of mastering for the past six months, which will now culminate in a videoclip. I'm quite stoked about it finally coming to life, because I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now."
The clip will be made as a collaborative effort with Hybryds' Sandy Viktor Nys and Mr. Manuva, who among others is active in the Belgian trip hop/drum & bass scene, as well as in graphic and audiovisual design. Both will contribute extensively to the creative and technical process of making the videoclip.
Raf : "Sandy, Manuva and I found each other in the same place at the right time and since we hit it off so well creatively, I decided to ask them to work with me on this project, as it is just too much for just one person to handle. I'm sure this will be an interesting and fruitful collaboration."
The title of the song will be kept under wraps for the time being. As for when the clip will be released, Raf has said it will take the better part of the next two months to shoot, edit and finish, what with the different schedules of all the people involved, so expect the clip to be released sometime around the end of Summer.
In the mean time, Ahráyeph will continue the preproduction rehearsals for their next release over the Summer, aiming to record in the Autumn and Winter of 2011 - 2012, with a release sometime in the first half of 2012.
