Multimedia artists, fans of ambient music, astronauts, and victims of alien abduction can get their rocks off together thanks to Abre Ojos, a one-man audiovisual project by Scott Baker. Baker is a multimedia artist from Melbourne, Australia, with over 20 years under his belt as an artist and musician, and his new album, Gates, is available for purchase now.
Granted, this isn’t our usual forte of heavy metal, but it is an artistic endeavour that reaches down into a couple of different subcultures. With art in mind, we wanted to bring Abre Ojos to your attention. Check out the video above for the track “Light on our Foreheads” to see what Baker is offering. Personally, I think it looks like a souped-up Windows Media Player, but I do get a 2001: A Space Odyssey vibe from it. I also feel like I’ve been abducted by aliens and I’m being reborn as one of them. Yeah, I might be nuts.
If you’re interested in hearing more, Gates is streaming in its entirety. If you dig it, order the CD/DVD package while you’re there, or at: www.secretsofgiza.com
