The Arrival - Emma Plunkett and Mix Amylo

The Arrival is a three-minute piece of 4K video art by Emma Plunkett, with the soundtrack by Mix Amylo and performance by Jennifer Nadia. EMMA: 'We shot early in the morning, around the sweeping staircases of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya on Montjuïc, taking advantage of the stillness of the city before the crowds arrived. Her character came alive in the setting — the long elevations allowing for her endless graceful descents. Back in the studio, I mixed the footage with my VJ software and played with it on my editing timeline, letting the piece reveal itself. It grew organically — one of those unplanned projects that eventually blossomed into something fully formed. I stripped back all unnecessary clips, so there’s just one other piece of footage of a wavy rope ladder type device that twirls in the background, I gave that clip different mirror effects and it keeps the video flowing. The story that emerged was a progression: from her running, to walking, to that small, cheeky jump at the end — a moment that feels like she arrives at herself. The working title was The Widow, but I let that go. I prefer the audience to read their own narratives into her presence — to decide who she is, what she has overcome and what she’s moving toward. Her mystery is part of the spell.' MIX: 'When Emma sent me some raw footage of the girl walking down stairs, I immediately heard a dramatic triplet rhythm in my head, which ended up coming in on the powerful sections of the soundtrack. I wanted to write something epic and orchestral, with ebbs and flows and a real feeling of drama. Strings, horns, trombones, keyboard pads and voices all combine to build the tension with a catchy, thematic pattern, kettle drums add a theatrical element, and a strong drum loop ups the energy. After recording the track, I sent it to Alan Lowles from Alchimia Musica, who mastered it to add the final gleam and sheen to the sound. As always it was a total pleasure collaborating with Emma, her visuals and creative ideas inspiring my music, and I love the finished result.'
