Plume Varia- “Bend”
by Tim Wenger
Plume Varia has dropped a new video for the song “Bend.” Denver artist Haylee Powers handled motion design for the video. CMB caught up with both Powers and Plume Varia about the process of their video.
CMB: Tell us about the process of making the video.
PV:We wanted to team up with visual artists in the Denver area. We met Haylee online and instantly loved her vision and style. I’ll let Haylee describe her process…
HP:I think Shon and Cherie had the exact same vision as I had for Bend which made this project effortless in some ways… We were on the same page. They use a lot of black and white in their photography and I wanted to extend this to the music video. I created this video by mirroring a lot of fluid video- Smoke, Liquids, Water and Fire. I also added an element of mystery through the brief and blurry faces that appear in the center. There was a lot of layering of video and timing to the music to get the effect I was looking for. I tried to mimic the feel of Plume Varia through hypnotizing and fluid motion.
CMB: What are your summer plans?
PV: We’ve had a wonderful summer so far with Westword Music Showcase, Underground Music Showcase, and coming shows at the Larimer Lounge, Syntax Physics Opera and Moe’s. Our focus going into Fall is going to be finishing out our first full length album.
CMB: How does Denver compare to other markets you’ve been through?
PV: Denver is just wonderful. It’s a generous and supportive music scene that we are just most grateful to be a part of. We have lived in other cities with diverse music scenes however they all seemed much less supportive and communal. We love it here. Festivals like Root40, Westword, and UMS are great examples of the heart of Denver’s scene.
CMB: Where can we find your music online?
PV: Our website is the best place to go for our music, shows and links to our other Internet homes. www.plumevaria.com
