A man picks up a discarded leaflet on a city street.
A dare to break away.
A coded invitation to unsubscribe from the automated life.
He follows the co-ordinates — and finds himself back in the countryside: colour, breath, sunlight, human pace again.
There, in an abandoned diner, he finds a small group of fellow believers — as instructed by the leaflet. A circle of strangers with battered cassette decks, listening to music made by human hands, on magnetic tape. In that moment, he knows this is where he belongs. But the woman he loves is still back in the city.
So he returns for her — to escape together. For good.
And the irony is this: even this video — a story about escaping the machine — was made using the very technology we fear is replacing us.
The final shot — an empty chair in front of the screens — is the reminder: nothing is actually holding us here. We only think we can’t leave.
I played all the instruments on this song — real drums, bass, guitars & piano.
