Bridge Session

One evening, five songs, from sun to night. Five takes filmed in sequence on a bridge over the Los Angeles River, May 9, 2024 — read left to right, the fading light is the running order. Nothing is graded; the night simply arrived.

  1. MAGMATIC backlit on the bridge, the sun still high behind him, transmission towers to the right.

  2. Silhouette of the artist with guitar, the sun sinking toward the hills, golden sky.
    Take 02golden hour
  3. The sun touches the horizon behind the artist, the channel reflects the light.
    Take 03sun on the horizon
  4. Last light on the horizon, the artist now lit, floral shirt, keyboard and guitar.
    Take 04sunset
  5. Purple sky after sunset, the artist sings at the microphone on the bridge, light patterned jacket.
