THE DIVE
the dive

"The Dive" is an impressionistic music video exploring love, loss, and transcendence into the afterlife. Hand painted frame-by-frame from live-action video, "The Dive" brings to life the haunting sounds of San Francisco breaks duo Momu. Released on Loöq Records and on Nick Warren’s new Global Underground mix.

Momu is a power tag-team vigilante duo made up of Jondi (of internationally renowned production team Jondi & Spesh) and Mark Musselman, one of San Francisco's most acclaimed breaks DJ's. Momu's sound to date: wicked breaks, future tech sounds, breathtaking melodies, sinister FX, and devastating arrangments that wreak havoc on the dancefloor.

"Blithe dancers move fluidly in suspension-a sensational anti-gravity experience set to equally ethereal music."

-Katy Kavanaugh, Programmer Screen360 Film Festival
The video was made by "painstakingly painting bright colours over live-action film footage, to create a new type of animation that resembles a dream state."
- Peter Howell, Toronto Star
"Dreamy, hypnotic."

- Jean Schiffman, San Francisco Arts Monthly
