The Red Tear by David Pellicciaro

This is the best video I've seen in a long time. The trippy visuals guarantee that you can watch it multiple times and see something new and different each time. The music presents a deep dive into the symbiotic relationship, the connections and reconnections through the blood that flows between mother and child beginning in the the womb. A spiritual voyage of discovery through a dreamscape bardo sequence leading to a return to the source.

David Pellicciaro landed the vision, wrote and arranged the music and performed it with a little help from his friends: Dale Fanning - drums, Wally Ingram - percussion, Scott Padden - bass, Scott Law - guitars, Beverly Modell - backing vocals, David Pellicciaro – piano, keys, sound design, vocal. Recorded by Dave at Lucky Devil Sound and by Danielle Goldsmith at Tiny Telephone, both in Oakland. Mixed and mastered by Yours Truly at High Velocity, Nevada City, CA.  The video was directed and edited by Dylan Cortez-Modell based on Dave's concept.

William Blake would have enjoyed seeing his influence here. Timothy Leary may have reckoned it as a total immersion into the genetic code, a tour through the futique circuits of DNA. Enjoy!
